"Map Ctrl-V to run the system command that grabs the system clipboard and throws it into a register, and pastes it onto the screen under the cursor:

vmap <C-c> y:call system(""xclip -i -selection clipboard"", getreg(""\""""))<CR>:call system(""xclip -i"", getreg(""\""""))<CR>
nmap <C-v> :call setreg(""\"""",system(""xclip -o -selection clipboard""))<CR>p
