The ergonomics of this is awful, being a 2 hand command with both hands
leaving home position (or the mouse if you're using a mouse-favoring
application).

But...

This is the first decent tool I've found for copying *out* of Vim and
into anything else. Just copy in Vim as if you'll later paste in the
same file, but press Shift-Ins in the other application to paste it
into that other application. So thanks!
