Clipboard support not present on all terminals

[souvikhaldar]

I was not able to copy/paste. After some research I realized I can't copy/paste text from system register (i.e *) in vim.
Some terminals do not have clipboard support. To check if the terminal has clipboard support not not run vim --version | grep clipboard, if it shows -clipboard, then it needs to be fixed by installing vim-gtk on ubuntu. Now you can copy text to system clipboard using "+y then paste on other softwares using Ctrl-v, as usual, and copy on sytem using Ctrl-c and paste in vim using "+p

Hence, I feel this should be mentioned in readme to avoid frustration of the users. I can raise a PR to add the same.

Also, some OSs are not allowing xclip to contain the copied screenshot, hence this might also be a problem!
