Here is a cool feature that some Linux users don't know about.

Linux has the ability to copy without using a copy command. Simply
high lite the text you want and then place the curse where you want to
paste that text and just click the middle mouse button. This is
available system wide on Linux maybe Mac too but no at all on windows.

In gVim you have to be in insert mode for it to work coming from
another app to gVim. Inside gVim from one place to another you can be
in command mode and do it. This will work in Vim in the terminal too.
