Answer by Deepam Gupta for How can I make Vim paste from (and copy to) the system's clipboard?

What simply worked for me in Linux (Ubuntu 20.04)

• Copying to system clipboard:

  1. Select what you want to copy in Visual mode.
  2. Type "+y
  3. Press Enter

• Paste something form system's clipboard:

  1. Move to the place where you want to paste the copied text in vim.
  2. Just type
     • "+P to paste before cursor OR
     • "+p to paste after cursor.
