Research direction

Start by reading the linked jupyterlab-vim discussion and the codemirror-vim issues and pull-request comment about clipboard fallback. Determine how yank/delete defaults should use the system clipboard on supported platforms and what fallback behavior is required; done means the behavior and platform limits are agreed and covered by appropriate tests.

Possible concern where a fallback would be needed https://github.com/replit/codemirror-vim/pull/36#issuecomment-1186192936
