As mentioned below there are systems whithout a clippboard. Thats the reason why i did not add this permanantly to my vimrc.
set clipboard=unnamedplus
" or
set clipboard=unnamed
Depending on what clipboard you want to use.
If you wants to know if your VIM supports cipboard:
vim --version | grep clip
The clipboard sytem on linux/Unix machines is handled by the Xserver, So if your Server has no X11 System you have to rely on the copy and paste capability of your terminal application. Always remember that if you hold CTRL and select whith your mouse you get into blocksekection mode.(sometimes it's CRTL+ALT)
In Putty (Windows to Linux), you can highlight the text in the tty by holding the left mouse button down, then clicking the right mouse button (without lifting the left button). Then you can paste it anywhere you want.
