I don't get it. I tried copying in vim with "+y, but when switching to a pane that has a normal shell, trying to paste with "+p wont work, because it will start typing "...etc What am I doing wrong?

@SFbay007 in case you were still wondering or someone else stumbles upon this, the "+y [y]anks (copies) the text into the clipboard (+) register ("). If you are [p]asting in vim, you use "+p, but if you are pasting in a normal shell you would use your normal method of paste (eg ctrl + shift + v). Note you may need to use the * register instead, depending on your system
