So let's say I have two splits open in byobu, side by side. Furthermore, both splits have different files open in vim. I want to highlight text from one file in one split and copy it to a separate file in the other split. Any ideas?
All the results I found while searching for this talked about using the scrollback feature to copy and paste in byobu, however, that only seems to work inside a single split; not across splits.
Looks like I posted to quickly; seemed to have found the solution. I followed the steps found here:

I followed the steps:
shift-f3
- move to split to be copied from
alt-pgup
- enter copy mode
space
- start selection
cursor through desired text
enter
- end selection
shift-f3
- shift focus to split to copy to
ensure receiving vim is in insert mode
alt-insert
- paste selected text
