Maybe I can help address point b).
On osX 10.4.11 and 10.6.8 I have MacPorts' terminal vim version
7.3.762 and it is compiled with the option: +clipboard
Which means that the system clipboard is supported.
Since I also use vim on Linux and Windows, I have made my .vimrc
portable for different versions of vim, some without +clipboard
support.
if has("clipboard") "?vim6.2 "?tiny7.2
vmap ,y "+y
nmap ,p "+gP
" ^= prepend += append
if has("gui_running") || has("xterm_clipboard")
silent! set clipboard^=unnamedplus
set clipboard^=unnamed
endif
endif
So...
,y in visual mode to copy from vim to another Mac app
,p in normal mode to paste from another Mac app to vim
Using ,p I do not need to know how vim's 'paste' option is set.
:help 'paste'
