How to copy in vim to the system clipboard?

Question

vim

Hello. System: Ubuntu 18.04.
I want to copy the text in vim to the system clipboard. I use the keyboard shortcut "+y or "*y, but for some reason it does not copy. Maybe a problem with setting up the sys.buffer?

Answer 1

execute in vim :echo has('clipboard')- if it displays 0, then you need to install vim-gtk or vim-gnome.
Also, on Linux, "*y copies to paste into the terminal (buffer will be empty in gui apps), and "+y for gui apps
