I have
set clipboard^=unnamed
and for me it "just works", but my habits and expectations may be
different from yours. You might try this instead:
set clipboard^=unnamedplus
which will use the + register instead of the * register.
Note that I use ^= rather than +=. That is because the default
setting for 'clipboard' includes the 'exclude' flag and the
'exclude' flag must be the last flag in the 'clipboard' option.
Using ^= inserts the 'unnamed' or 'unnamedplus' flag at the
beginning of the 'clipboard' option.
See
:help 'clipboard'
:help :set^=
