If you are on Linux, and Vim has been compiled with the +X11 feature, and you have clipboard=unnamedplus set, then you should be able yank a line in one instance of vim and paste it in another instance of vim. You should also be able to paste it into any other application with CTRL+V or SHIFT+INSERT. You can use :version within Vim to see if +X11 appears in the list of included features. You can also check if the 'unnamedplus' feature is available with :if has('unnamedplus')⏎ echo 'yes'⏎ endif If you are not on Linux then you should use unnamed instead of unnamedplus.

Even with muru's edit, this was still misleading. If you set `unnamedplus` you don't need to specify the `+` register in every command.
