Prefixing the yank and put commands with registers works, but I personally
prefer the following, which just sets the default register to be the system

When the "unnamed" string is included in the 'clipboard' option, the
Unnamed register is the same as the "* register. Thus you can yank to
and paste the selection without prepending "* to commands.
So just put "set clipboard=unnamed" in your vimrc file, use y and p as normal,
and watch them yank to and put from the system clipboard! Woo!

I knew about that but I somehow forgot to mention it (though maybe I
should have), because most of my puts and yanks are internal to Vim and
I don't like clobbering the system clipboard in that case. "De gustibus
et coloribus non est disputandum."
