title: gvim: Easy copying into system clipboard
body: <p>I am using gVim on Ubuntu 10.10. I want to copy (yank) text to the system clipboard, so that the copied text is available in other applications.</p>
  
  <p>This works with <code>"+y</code>. But I want to have it working with <code>y</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to map <code>y</code> to <code>"+y</code> but then <code>yy</code> doesn't work anymore (since it produces <code>"+y"+y</code>).</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried
  <code>:set clipboard=unnamed</code>
  but this works only the other direction: Text in the system clipboard I can paste with <code>p</code>.</p>
