Ah! See, it always helps to describe your problem :)

To do something like this, I sometimes use xsel from
<http://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/software/xsel/>, which you can find
in Universe.

I don't know xclip.

Depends on what you do. In gnome-terminal, when I *select* a text and then
hit <Shift>+<Ctrl>+<c> (or Edit -> Copy), I can then <shift>+<insert>
the text in gvim. In vim under Gnome Terminal, <shift>+<insert> doesn't
do anything for me - maybe, because I disabled the key shortcuts.
