how to copy from vim and paste it on system clip board
 

Hi
i want to select some text from vim using "yank" command and then access the same on shell prompt
using ^v or shift ^Insert.How can that be done.
My OS is ubuntu.

Use screen: "CTRL+A [" to start the selection, cursor keys to change slash expand, ENTER to end selection and "CTRL+A [" to paste?

Not really a programming question, but you might actually want to look into a program like tmux or screen. I prefer tmux out of the two for vertical splits, newer, how windows/panes work and other features you can read about. Both can do the copy/paste stuff.

dtvi with dtach seems to be another alternative, but I've never used them.
