If you are using vim and it is built appropriately, the "* register reflects the contents of the primary selection and the "+ register the contents of the clipboard. See :help registers

You can also use the default register instead of "+

:set clipboard=unnamed

Ah, yes, I see that does work. I probably tried on a version that wasn't compiled with that- found middle-click and never looked back. Thanks though for getting me to check again.
