What system? After writing to tmp, I pipe to pbcopy on Mac and pipe to xclip on Linux. I do this enough that installing this might be worth it.

Linux (ubuntu) using xfce. Always have one workspace devoted to a full-screen Vim window, so can get there with a keyboard shortcut. In my .vimrc, I have

    set clipboard=unnamedplus
so that yanked text is copied to the X11 clipboard. Yank buffer, switch back to browser (or what have you), paste. With Vimium, the whole procedure is mouseless.

pbcopy on Mac brings back memories.
