Yank and paste does not work with clipboard or other system buffer

Or any other system buffers. To paste/copy something outside jupyterlab one still need to use CTRL+C/CTRL+V in inset mode with manual selection.

It would be good to add registers support: https://www.davidbegin.com/10-vim-registers-to-rule-them-all/

Or do something like set clipboard=unnamedplus (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11489428/how-to-make-vim-paste-from-and-copy-to-systems-clipboard)

Hi @banderlog currently this is available via a separate extension: https://github.com/ianhi/jupyterlab-vimrc#jupyterlab-vimrc

After pip install jupyterlab-vimrc you yank to the system clipboard using "+y and also have an option to set unnamedplus=True in the settings. Unfortuantely this currently only works for yanking but not for pasting (see https://github.com/ianhi/jupyterlab_vim-system-clipboard-support/issues/2 for discussion of this)

That is the reason: https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror/issues/6341

Looks like workable solution: https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror/issues/3075#issuecomment-612319694

But this solution above was proposed by you, author of jupyterlab-vimrc repo and actually included in it 😃)

I’ve created issue in jupyterlab-vimrc since it more probable that it will be implemented there: https://github.com/ianhi/jupyterlab-vimrc/issues/18

I did little research there, I am bad in JS and web development, but from my point of view it can’t be done only in some sort of firefox extension, which is not looks like jupyter-lab friendly way.

Please correct me if I am wrong (still have a hope)
