clipboard = regular C-c and C-v stuff primary = highlight / middle click vim has its own used by default when you dd, p, etc. You can copy to one of the previous things (assuming your build enabled it) with "+y and "*y key sequences. You can also paste the same way, but I usually just let the term emu handle that with ctrl-shift-v or similar. shift-insert is kinda weird actually. AFAIK it should paste from selection, but it often surprises me, so I avoid it. edit: s/selection/primary/
