Just because this is a vim meme, does anyone know how to copy text from one instance of vim to the other?

You can yank text to system clipboard buffer ie +. Then paste (put) from the clipboard to any other vim process.

Keep in mind you should have clipboard support in your vim. If you're on ubuntu, install vim-gtk and you should be good

I'm on Debian, but my VM is an Ubuntu server, so that should work!
