[please don't top-post]

This works for small and contiguous blocks of text, but doesn't work
well if either:

1) you want to copy large blocks of text that can't fit on the screen
at the same time (or in the scroll-back buffer)

2) you want to copy via various yank/ex commands such as

:let @+=@%

or where I commonly would do something like

:let @a=''|g/pattern/y A
:let @+=@a

to gather up matching lines and put them in the clipboard.
