title: Can vim use the system clipboard(s) by default?
body: <p>I am running into <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8756459/is-there-any-plugin-way-to-manage-multiple-projects-in-vim">several problems</a> because vim's tabs are, for the lack of a better term, god awful. I want to start using multiple Gnome tabs instead, each with a different instance of vim. Everything should work fine, however, only the system buffer <code>+</code> can be used to share text. This makes all the commands two key strokes longer:</p>
  
  <p><kbd>y</kbd> <kbd>y</kbd> becomes <kbd>"</kbd>  <kbd>+</kbd>  <kbd>y</kbd>  <kbd>y</kbd></p>
  
  <p><kbd>y</kbd> <kbd>w</kbd> becomes <kbd>"</kbd>  <kbd>+</kbd>  <kbd>y</kbd>  <kbd>w</kbd></p>
  
  <p><kbd>d</kbd> <kbd>'</kbd> <kbd>k</kbd> becomes <kbd>"</kbd>  <kbd>+</kbd>  <kbd>d</kbd> <kbd>'</kbd> <kbd>k</kbd></p>
  
  <p>This is especially so when one considers that a simply yank/paste operation like so</p>
  
  <p><kbd>y</kbd> <kbd>y</kbd> <kbd>p</kbd> </p>
  
  <p>becomes </p>
  
  <p><kbd>"</kbd>  <kbd>+</kbd>  <kbd>y</kbd>  <kbd>y</kbd>  <kbd>"</kbd>  <kbd>+</kbd>  <kbd>p</kbd></p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to instruct vim to always use the system clipboard(s)?</p>
