I made some effort one year ago trying to combine pyperclip[1] -- a python clipboard library with vim and make a new plugin[2]; However, as the things went on I came to understand that a clipboard is not as simple as it seems. The clipboard itself is deeply coupled with the graphic and windowing subsystem and some impl(like Qt and gtk) requires additional setup like mainloops to function properly.
Now I consider a tty program interacting with clipboard a very bad idea. I use unamedplus in gvim, but when I have to use a terminal emulator I just use paste mode and access the clipboard with the emulator. Consider this: you started a tmux server from your desktop, then you detached and went out with your laptop and ssh back to attach the session. Now when you copy sth from the laptop browser and attempt to paste it inside a vim instance running in that session, guess what will happen if you used approaches other than the terminal emulator?
