copy-reference.nvim

A simple Neovim plugin to copy file references with optional line numbers to your clipboard.

Features

• Copy file path with line number (file.lua:42)
• Copy just the file path (file.lua)
• Smart path detection (relative to git root or cwd)
• Visual mode support for line ranges (file.lua:10-25)

Installation

Using lazy.nvim

{
  "cajames/copy-reference.nvim",
  opts = {}, -- optional configuration
  keys = {
    { "yr", "<cmd>CopyReference file<cr>", mode = { "n", "v" }, desc = "Copy file path" },
    { "yrr", "<cmd>CopyReference line<cr>", mode = { "n", "v" }, desc = "Copy file:line reference" },
  },
}

Configuration

The plugin works out of the box with sensible defaults:

{
  register = "+",        -- Clipboard register (+ for system clipboard)
  use_git_root = true,   -- Use git root for relative paths when in a git repo
}

Usage

• yr - Copy the current file path
• yrr - Copy the current file path with line number
• Visual mode + yrr - Copy file path with line range

Commands

• :CopyReference - Copy file:line reference (default)
• :CopyReference line - Copy file:line reference
• :CopyReference file - Copy file path only
