How can I copy a link URL in either lynx or links to copy to vim?

I am having the most difficult time trying to figure out how to copy a link URL in either of these two browsers and then paste it into vim. Does anyone know how to go ab开发者_开发技巧out doing this? I am using Slackware 13.1. Any alternatives to copy/paste are also acceptable.

I did a quick search, and I found this:

Looks like you hover over the link and "shift+e" (or "shift+g" for current page) and copy it with "ctrl+shift+c".

you can use "screen" command. It has it's own copy-paste mechanism.

If you would ssh into the server, rather than sitting at the console, then you could just use normal mouse selection to copy and paste. The cut and paste is handled by a GUI like X or Windows 7 or MacOS GUI. It is part of the terminal app.

Apparently, you can also use Ctrl + S to save the URL of the current page or the current link (at least on my version 2.8.8).

(Unfortunately, I'm currently getting an error "Copy to clipboard failed", but maybe someone else is more lucky.)
