Use clipboard^=unnamed instead of clipboard=unnamedplus

I honestly have no idea if that's a long standing bug (never worked in 5+ years) or if it's supposed to behave like it does but set clipboard=unnamedplus doesn't work on Mac OS X.

You should suggest unnamed instead as it works perfectly.

Also, set clipboard=something is not portable at all. The default value on Linux (autoselect,exclude:cons\|linux) should not be carelessly overridden with =something or have any other value appended to it with +=something.

The most portable value is thus:

set clipboard^=unnamed

  1. clipboard=unnamedplus works for me. (Tested with 7.4.1051 in iTerm2 and Terminal.app.) Nevertheless I'll rewrite it to suggest using "* in all cases but Unix, where "+ should be used for clipboard.

  2. You're totally right about using ^= instead.
