*W24*
Vim comes in different flavors, from a tiny build, that just tries to be
compatible to original Vi, to enhanced builds which include many improvements
(like a GUI). However, on servers and embedded systems, Vim is typically
compiled without clipboard support, since this feature requires X11 libraries
to be present. Check the ":version" output for the flag |+clipboard| or
-clipboard. The former means clipboard support is present while the latter
means your Vim does not contain clipboard support.
In the case when you are trying to access the "* or "+ register and Vim has
no clipboard support, you will see this warning:
Warning: Clipboard register not available. See :h W24~
If you have a vim with no clipboard support but would like to use the
clipboard, try to install a more enhanced Vim package like vim-enhanced or
vim-gtk3 (the gui packages usually also come with a terminal Vim that has
clipboard support included).
*x11-cut-buffer*
There are, by default, 8 cut-buffers: CUT_BUFFER0 to CUT_BUFFER7. Vim only
uses CUT_BUFFER0, which is the one that xterm uses by default.
