A bit of a nitpick: "Command mode" in the documentation is an alias for "Normal mode". Check `:help command-mode`. What the article refers to is "Command-line mode" (`:help Command-line-mode`)

This is a great tip IF vim has been compiled with the clipboard option.

You can check this by running 'vim --version' and looking for the clipboard entry

-clipboard = no clipboard support

+clipboard = clipboard support

Unfortunately, some linux distros (I'm talking about YOU AWS) don't have this turned on.
