If you have to do all that to copy from vim to the clipboard, your
system is not properly configured. It may be that the vi or vim
you're using was not built with support for X11 or the
xterm_clipboard. Some distributions come with a "vi" that is the
tiny version of Vim, without support many features at all, and "vim"
is often built without support for X11. Try running Vim in a
terminal as "gvim -v". That will use the gvim binary, which does
have X11 support, but in console mode.
