I think you might want to look into vim-x11, I think that one is compiled with x11 clipboard support.

sudo yum install vim-X11

My .vimrc has this line in it.

set clipboard=unnamedplus " shared system clipboard.

you might also want to try unnamed instead of unnamedplus

I have to say, that it works with certain shells and not others (eg. works well with bash, doesn't work so well with fish).

You might also want to look into paste mode

" <F2>: enter paste mode (while in insert mode) to paste from outside vim safely
noremap <F2> :set invpaste paste?<cr>
set pastetoggle=<F2>

You should not modify /etc/vimrc - use the personal settings in ~/.vimrc instead. If you modified /etc/vimrc do: yum remove vim-common; yum install vim-common. yum reinstall vim-common won't restore the original `/etc/vimrc due to the fact that %config(noreplace) (see https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/35805/pamdrpmnew-on-first-update/ and http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/vim.git/tree/vim.spec ) does not apply to yum reinstall.

I don't think there is a package called vim, just install vim-x11. I don't know of a case where yum modifies anything in your home directory. Typically, new versions of software try to retain your configurations and not modify your dot files.
