As Michael said, you don't need to quit the first file. You can open
the second file in a split-window or in a new tabpage in the same Vim.
If the file where you want to paste is already open in a different
Vim, you should be able to paste via the clipboard (provided of course
that both Vim instances were compiled with +clipboard and have access
to the clipboard). This works on Windows and on Linux, I haven't tried
it on a Mac.
Best regards,
Tony.
