Using register contents as issue body?

[PhilippFeO]

Is it possible to use register contents as body for an issue?

After typing Octo issue create, octo.nvim asks me, if I want to use the contents of the current buffer as body for my issue. I normally don't but a subset of my buffer.

If it is not possible to use register contents, can I at least disable the buffer content question somehow?

I tend to use gitlinker: https://github.com/ruifm/gitlinker.nvim to grab the link and will just paste that into the issue after creation

I also have a workflow where I create issue from body and title: https://github.com/wd60622/dotfiles/blob/25168a19ec5f85ed0223051d78f4d9ace729d97d/nvim/lua/plugins/version-control.lua#L7-L22

Just for clarification: It is not possible to feed Octo.nvim with --title and --body? I searched the docs but without matches. Sometimes, it would be quite handy to also edit the issue.

Nevertheless, your resources are sufficient enough to fullfill my needs!

My understanding of the project, those flags do not exist.
This is the function that is being used

octo.nvim/lua/octo/commands.lua

Lines 782 to 820 in 84a4f19

	function M.save_issue(opts)
	vim.fn.inputsave()
	local title = vim.fn.input(string.format("Creating issue in %s. Enter title: ", opts.repo), opts.base_title)
	vim.fn.inputrestore()
	local body
	if utils.is_blank(opts.base_body) then
	local choice = vim.fn.confirm(
	"Do you want to use the content of the current buffer as the body for the new issue?",
	"&Yes\n&No\n&Cancel",
	2
	)
	if choice == 1 then
	local lines = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_lines(0, 0, -1, true)
	body = utils.escape_char(utils.trim(table.concat(lines, "\n")))
	else
	body = constants.NO_BODY_MSG
	end
	else
	body = utils.escape_char(opts.base_body)
	-- TODO: let the user edit the template before submitting
	end
	local repo_id = utils.get_repo_id(opts.repo)
	local query = graphql("create_issue_mutation", repo_id, title, body)
	gh.run {
	args = { "api", "graphql", "-f", string.format("query=%s", query) },
	cb = function(output, stderr)
	if stderr and not utils.is_blank(stderr) then
	utils.error(stderr)
	elseif output then
	local resp = vim.fn.json_decode(output)
	require("octo").create_buffer("issue", resp.data.createIssue.issue, opts.repo, true)
	vim.fn.execute "normal! Gk"
	vim.fn.execute "startinsert"
	end
	end,
	}
	end

That provides the prompts if the title and body are not provided

Thanks for the verifying my assumption. And thank you for your advice and work!
