If you can use mappings you can do anything. Maybe something like

    :vnoremap <F5> "+y:let @n = @+<CR>

​Using :let for copying registers may do copying incorrectly: it is never possible to copy blockwise selection using :let and it is never possible to correctly copy text with zero bytes inside. One needs to use

    :call setreg('n', getreg('+', 1, 1), getregtype('+')​)

 

or

    :vnoremap <F5> "+ygv"+n

See
    :help :let-@
    :help expr-register
for the former, and
    :help gv
for the latter.

I would rather not map onto y which is the standard (and IMHO very
useful) yank keybinding, and by default yanks to the default "
register (sometimes called "the unnamed register" though its name is
the double quote).

Best regards,
Tony.
