How about a visual mapping like this:
:vmap K "zy:let _dummy=system("putclip", @z)<CR>
I'ts a bit crude, remaps K (my temporary map combo) and uses register @z
you might use already.
A more complete version could be eg (join on one line):
:vmap <Leader>pc <C-C>:let _pc_z=getreg('z')<Bar>let
_pc_zm=getregtype('z')<CR>gv"zy:let _pcres=system("putclip",
@z)<Bar>call setreg('z', _pc_z, _pc_zm)<CR>
You might prefer making it into a function, but that requires a bit of
fiddling, too.
