Run OCSYank after copy relative path

[pshvechikov]

The default command for copy into system clipboard via OSC symbols is
autocmd TextYankPost * if v:event.operator is 'y' && v:event.regname is '' | execute 'OSCYankReg "' | endif

This command is not respected when one copies relative path (Y) from nvim-tree, since no TextYankPost is triggered with vim.fn.setreg:

local function copy_to_clipboard(content)
  if M.use_system_clipboard == true then
    vim.fn.setreg("+", content)
    vim.fn.setreg('"', content)
    return notify.info(string.format("Copied %s to system clipboard!", content))
  else
    vim.fn.setreg('"', content)
    vim.fn.setreg("1", content)
    return notify.info(string.format("Copied %s to neovim clipboard!", content))
  end
end

How could one detect the change of the "+" register and autocmd the OSCYankReg command?

Today I leaned of the existence of TextYankPost. It definitely does not fire on setreg and appears explicitly designed just for text yank.

Could we use an nvim-tree event, say, Event.ClipboardCopied, passing the text that was copied?

That would be wonderful if such an event existed. Almost always paths (shortcuts Y or gy) are needed outside the vim. And it really sucks to paste from + register and yank the pasted text manually.

I'm not quite understanding: why do you need to yank the pasted +? Is that to fire the OSC plugin?

We can add the event: #2312

Pull Requests are gratefully appreciated.

yes, you are right.

I opened a PR (#2489) that should solve this issue. @pshvechikov can you please confirm if this is what you're after?
