The system clipboard(s) can be accessed via the "+" and "*"
registers. On Win32, they're the same. In X, the "+" register is
the clipboard register (what's usually accessed with control+[VCX]
for copy/paste) and "*" is the selection register (usually populated
by selecting text, and pasted using the middle mouse button). Thus,
you can use

"+d{motion}

to "cut" whatever {motion} covers, or you can visually select what
you want, then use

"+d

to cut it. You can also do the same with pasting:

"+p

which you can read about at

:help registers
