Is
it possible to make that the defaiut register, so I can stop typing "+

If you
:set clipboard=unnamed
everything that goes to or from the unnamed register will go to register
* too.
- On Windows, "* and "+ are the same, anything in the one is seen in the
other too.
- On X11, "* (the "X selection") is normally used for
middleclick-pasting and selection-highlighting in applications other
than Vim;
- On X11, "+ (the "clipboard") is normally used for Edit->Copy,
Edit->Cut and Edit->Paste.
So unless you're on Windows, I don't think you can use register + as the
default register. You can use register * though, and middle-click-paste
it in other applications.
But then, is it useful? This option clobbers your X-selection or your
Windows clipboard even when you're copying inside of a single Vim
session and don't need such clobbering. I prefer to use Vim's unnamed
register by default, and leave the X registers alone unless I explicitly
say to use them, by using "+ for the clipboard or (more rarely) "* to
import a selection, maybe from xterm or similar.
Best regards,
Tony.
