How to make vi-mode bindings in terminal copy to clipboard

If I want to yank my last command I can UP yy, but this does not
copy to the system clipboard.
How do I configure my terminal to copy to the system clipboard so I can paste into other programs?
I am using zsh, but an answer for bash and zsh would be thorough and appreciated.

I don't know if this is universal or specific to my setup (zsh, GNOME Terminal, Xorg), but using "+yy (double quote, plus, Y, Y) instead of just yy works for me.
Note this is the same command used within Vim itself to copy to the main clipboard instead of a Vim-internal register, so it makes sense for this to work in ZSH as well.
