I use split windows constantly and have gotten very accustomed to hitting <C-w>. For this reason, I've added the following to my .vimrc
nnoremap <C-w>yy "+yy nnoremap <C-w>y "+y vnoremap <C-w>y "+y nnoremap <C-w>dd "+dd nnoremap <C-w>d "+d vnoremap <C-w>d "+d nnoremap <C-w>p "+p vnoremap <C-w>p "+p nnoremap <C-w>P "+P vnoremap <C-w>P "+P i believe a few of these conflict with (frankly, useless) window commands like <C-w>p to go to the previous window. it would be nice if there were a way to bind <C-w> (or your combo of choice) followed by *any* keys that put text in a buffer to put it into the system clipboard.
