Natural copying and pasting in Vim

Add to your .vimrc:

vnoremap <silent> y y`]
vnoremap <silent> p p`]
nnoremap <silent> p p`]

vmap <silent> <C-c> "+y
nmap <silent> <C-c> "+yy
vmap <silent> <C-v> "+p
imap <silent> <C-v> <Esc>"+pa

This does two things:

• Cursor is placed at the and of yanked / pasted text
• You can use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V for system clipboard interaction (it doesn't change Ctrl-V in normal mode, use o C-v to paste code)
