Motivation

There is a small trick to copy any text from vim inside virtual machine running on Mac OS X host to its clipboard

vim-pbcopy

This is a Vim plugin that exposes a cy mapping in Visual mode and a cy{motion} mapping in Normal mode which both attempt to yank the selected/moved-over text and pipe it (via ssh if necessary) to the pbcopy command on a Mac OS X client. What does this mean? It means you can use cy wherever you'd normally use y and have that text available in your Mac OS X system clipboard, whether you're working locally or remotely. It also performs a simple y yank operation on your selection so you'll have it in the default " yank register as well.
