The vim * and + system registry does not work

:echo has('clipboard') returns 1, but whenever I execute "+yy" or "*yy" nothing looks like in these registers. If I use plain yy to copy another line of text, try pasting from the register using CONTROL+V nothing will happen. If I try, "+p vim inserts a line of text that I copied using the regular yy command.

What's going on here? By the way, I'm on FreeBSD.

If you have something to copy to the clipboard and paste into vim, you can use "+p .

+ is quoteplus, which means CLIPBOARD documented choice of X :help quoteplus for more information.

If you want to copy something in vim to the clipboard and paste the contents to another location Ctrl+v , you can do "+yy , this will copy the current line to the clipboard.

Additional information about the vim register:

 :help registers :help quotestar
