start_batch_changes() doesn't avoid invoking the clipboard once-per-line, because the loop is actually in ex_echo(), which calls redir_write() for each message. But we've already entered start_batch_changes() by then, so that was never the problem. redir_write at /home/vagrant/old.neovim/build/../src/nvim/message.c:2523 msg_puts_attr_len at /home/vagrant/old.neovim/build/../src/nvim/message.c:1600 msg_outtrans_len_attr at /home/vagrant/old.neovim/build/../src/nvim/message.c:1221 ex_echo at /home/vagrant/old.neovim/build/../src/nvim/eval.c:19433 do_one_cmd at /home/vagrant/old.neovim/build/../src/nvim/ex_docmd.c:2242 Trying to defer _explicit_ clipboard updates is difficult. :redir @+ | silent echo system('cat foo') | redir END is essentially equivalent to: for l in readfile('foo') let @+ .= l endfor We cannot make judgements about when to ignore a script's bad decisions. start_batch_changes() only works around the case of clipboard=unnamed, i.e. _implicit_ clipboard updates (`:g/foo/d`). Not explicit assignment.
