How to allow Vim to copy and paste into other windows on Gentoo Linux

Without adding vim-with-x to make.conf you will not be able to copy text from Vim and paste into any other windows such as a browser. This is because Vim is not compiled with X support.


 * Edit make.conf
 * In the USE Variable
 * Add vim-with-x
 * Example: USE="vim-with-x"
