I was trying to copy and paste something from Vim to the browser and I honestly forgot how to do it because it's been awhile since I had to do it and also I reinstalled my Arch Linux so I gave up on the xclip and the special commands to copy.
My quick solution: open a new terminal and
cat .thefilename
then copy directly from the terminal and do your simple paste to your external app.
Just a quick tip

set clipboard=unnamedshould sync your vim clipboard with the system clipboard.I tried that before but it didn't seem to work for me. I'll try it again. Thanks
Update: doesn't work.
I don't use macOS anymore, but good to know if I ever come across again when I need to use Vim on it.
