Copy Paste
The default mapping is cp, and can be followed by any motion or text
object. For instance:
cpiw=> copy word into system clipboardcpi'=> copy inside single quotes to system clipboard
In addition, cP is mapped to copy the current line directly.
The sequence cv is mapped to paste the content of system clipboard to the
next line.
