Option to set system clipboard (`+` register) as the default/unnamed register

[banderlog]

Yanking text within cell puts it in some non system buffer (xclip does not see it). It is very inconvinient

If you install jupyterlab-vimrc (https://github.com/ianhi/jupyterlab-vimrc#jupyterlab-vimrc) and go to that extensions settings and setting unnamedplus to true then yy will yank to the system clipboard

I think it would be great if it was possible to include this part of jupyterlab-vimrc into jupyterlab-vim as part of the core extension

~Actually, this could probably be close as a duplicate of https://github.com/jupyterlab-contrib/jupyterlab-vim/issues/36.~ See https://github.com/jupyterlab-contrib/jupyterlab-vim/issues/36#issuecomment-1744211566

Thanks for the clarification in https://github.com/jupyterlab-contrib/jupyterlab-vim/issues/36 @firai. Could the title of this issue be updated to reflect that it is about changing the default clipboard register?

Since system clipboard access is now handled upstream in codemirror-vim and since this option exists in vim, this issue might be more appropriate upstream as well

jupyterlab-vimrc is outdataed like hell: jupyterlab-vimrc 0.5.2 requires jupyterlab==3.*,>=3.0.0rc2,
