...or do what I do: use the standard Apple shortcuts Cmd+c and Cmd+v
to copy and paste between OS windows.
If you insist on using 'y' instead of Cmd+c but dislike having to
remember to prefix with "* when yanking, then you should check out the
'clipboard' option (e.g. ":set clipboard+=unnamed"). You'll still
have to remember to paste from the star register as far as I can tell
("*p or Cmd+p).
