if you're interested in copying and pasting within Vim itself, you can use the
register yanking/deleting/pasting commands, like y, d, c, p and P. If you're
interested in copying to the system buffer, you can prefix these commands with
"+ (double-quotes-plus) or "* (double-quotes-asterisk). For more information,
read ":help change.txt" in Vim (without the quotes).
