Unable to pbcopy at Vim's ED editor

I have tried unsuccessfully to copy the pwd to pbcopy as follows

pwd | !pbcopy

How can you copy your path in Vim's ED editor (: -mode)?

Solution

  • Why not :!pwd|pbcopy?

    Use the command 

    cd

    to the current working directory if needed with the command

    lcd %:p:h
