For the same screen server. You can copy to screen's buffer, I guess the
shortcut key to copy-mode is ^A [
mark the selection and copy to buffer then switch to your vi window, enter
vi's input mode, then ^A:paste

I forgot the details because I was converted to tmux. This method does not
depend on x selection or any facilities of vim.
