So far, so good.

Try instead, press " (the literal double-quote character) and THEN
press + (the literal plus character). After this, press the 'y' key.

This is because instead of "+y (select the '+' register and yank the
text) you executed +y (move the cursor down one row and yank the text
to Vim's "unnamed" register).

If you want to paste by middle-click (rather than CTRL-V) then you
will need to use * instead of + in the above commands. * is the
"selection register" whereas + is the "clipboard register". In
Windows, these are the same...I apologize for that misunderstanding.
