Are you considering any vte-based terminal as an exotic one? GNOME 
terminal, konsole, lxterminal, and others... They have [Ctrl+Shift+v] 
hotkey out of the box in addition to [Insert]-based ones.

As to + and * registers. What kind of vim do you use? At least vim-gtk3 
provides console vim binary built with x11 support. Perhaps it is 
+xterm_clipboard option.
