I use the Apple-provided Vim on OS X with both Terminal and iTerm2. I have this in my ~/.vimrc: " In visual mode, use Y to copy to system clipboard vnoremap Y "*y " In normal mode, do the same with the current line nnoremap Y "*yy So with a visual selection, I can use Y to copy to OS X’s clipboard (and without a selection, I can use it in normal mode to copy the current line likewise). I can confirm that it works -- I just opened my ~/.vimrc in Terminal and used Y to copy those lines so I could paste them here in Mail.
