How can I merge OS clipboard and Vim's one? I want them to be the same, so that I don't have to use "*y or "*p or "*d, instead just y, or p or d. How can I do that?

Note that the linked question should contain the answer: "If you want to "automatically" interface with the system's clipboard instead of referring to it manually all the time, you can set the clipboard variable: [...]"– Martin TournoijCommented Feb 3, 2017 at 1:52

From :h 'cb:
*clipboard-unnamed*
unnamed When included, Vim will use the clipboard register '*'
for all yank, delete, change and put operations which
would normally go to the unnamed register. When a
register is explicitly specified, it will always be
used regardless of whether "unnamed" is in 'clipboard'
or not. The clipboard register can always be
explicitly accessed using the "* notation. Also see
|gui-clipboard|.
So, maybe you could try to prepend the value 'unnamed' to the option 'clipboard':
set clipboard^=unnamed
As the help explains, this should tell Vim to use the * register for all yank, delete, change and put operations.

@Torito I said maybe because I'm not using exactly this setting. I'm using this :
set clipboard^=unnamedplus. It should work, but it can lead to problems if you're using plugins. Often, plugin authors forget to take into consideration that the user may change their'clipboard'option. Because of this, sometimes a functionality they provide doesn't work as expected. Here is an example: github.com/tpope/vim-scriptease/blob/master/plugin/… Here, you just have to prepend""in front of thepcommand, but still, it can be annoying to find where the fix is needed.
