Copy buffer to clipboard

See, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3961859/how-to-copy-to-clipboard-in-vim.

This is my configuration.

I add these aliases to .zshrc,

alias pbcopy="xclip -selection clipboard"
alias pbpaste="xclip -selection clipboard -o"

but it didn’t work with raising error

Press ENTER or type command to continue
[No write since last change]
zsh:1: command not found: pbcopy
shell returned 127
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I guess vim didn’t read .zshrc file when execute command, maybe using /bin/bash.

So, I change a way.**
I made two scripts, in path ~/Bin,

cat pb*                                                         ✔ 
#!/bin/bash
xclip -selection clipboard
#!/bin/bash
xclip -selection clipboard -o

so, vim can read pbcopy and pbpaste which in PATH, then use

:'<,'>w !pbcopy

in vim command mode, and use CTL+SHIFT+v or pbpaste to paste.
