The system clipboard(s) can be accessed via the "+" and "*"
registers.  On Win32, they're the same.  In X, the "+" register is
the clipboard register (what's usually accessed with control+[VCX]
for copy/paste) and "*" is the selection register (usually populated
by selecting text, and pasted using the middle mouse button).  Thus,
you can use

  "+d{motion}

to "cut" whatever {motion} covers, or you can visually select what
you want, then use

  "+d

to cut it.  You can also do the same with pasting:

  "+p

which you can read about at

  :help registers
