+# Synchronize Vim Clipboard With System Clipboard
+
+When I use Vim-mode in VSCode, I _yank_ text onto the Vim clipboard by visually
+selecting some text and hitting `y`. Then I can move the cursor somewhere else
+in the file (or another file in VSCode) and _paste_ it by hitting `p`.
+
+But what if I want the thing I yanked from a file to be pasted into another
+program, like Chrome? Or if I've copied some text from another program and I
+want to paste it into a file in VSCode?
+
+This cross-program copy and pasting is what the _system clipboard_ on your
+operating system is for. By default, the Vim clipboard is separate from the
+system clipboard. I personally prefer for them to be one and the same.
+
+To achieve this, I added the following line to my VSCode config in
+`settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "vim.useSystemClipboard": true
+}
+```
+
+It takes a little getting used to having them integrated, but I've done it for
+so long that it is muscle memory. It's hard to not have them integrated now.
+It's even better when I have a clipboard history tool like Raycast available
+for accessing past clipboard values.
