Copy Path Reference for Vim

Copy your file location to your system clipboard

There’s a useful feature in PhpStorm (and other JetBrains editors) that’s is missing in Vim and Neovim. That’s the Copy Reference command that copies the path to the file and the line number to your system clipboard. Well, it’s not missing, technically speaking. It is kind of buried though, and not really intuitive. This plugin makes it easy to share your exact position in the project with another developer.

Vim and Neovim by default doesn’t have an established project root. In Neovim and Vim, your project “root”, is determined by where you start it. Relative paths use this directory. The functions of this plugin are descriptively named to wrap the builtin Vim functionality.
