Thanks for that, this command seems to fix the issue. However I never
needed to do this in Vim prior to version 8.2, so I think this is where
the issue is:

$ vim --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Mar 18 2020 16:42:25)
Included patches: 1-2200
+clipboard

$ vim --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled Jun 14 2020 15:33:43)
Included patches: 1-303
-clipboard

For some reason latest version of Vim disables system clipboard. Is this
a pkgsrc config issue?
