What key to bind?) c?

[antonmedv]

cc - copy content

cp - copy path

[banjo]

That sounds good. One example could be.

ck - copy key cv - copy value (or cp - copy content) cp - copy path

What do you about the same commands but yank based? yk, yv, yp. That looks familiar to those who use vim, tmux and etc.

What defaults for vim?

Just an idea,

y - yank key yy - yank value Y - yank path

Right now I'm having to result to using Tmux to copy whatever I have in fx, but this would be super nice to have. I'm considering learning some Go just so that this can be added in 😄

Lets do this way.

I like them! How about with yy defaulting to the value?

[antonmedv]

Why yy to value?)

[ditsuke]

Why yy to value?)

yy yanks the current line in vim. Bringing over the idiom to fx, it should be handy that yy yanks the value considering it the most common use case.

This was exactly my thinking 😀

Keys are yy yk yp.
