You only need the "{reg} prefix for normal mode, to indicate that you want to specify a register. For Ex commands, you just append the register name.

:1,10yank +

Learn how to look up commands and navigate the built-in :help; it is comprehensive and offers many tips. You won't learn Vim as fast as other editors, but if you commit to continuous learning, it'll prove a very powerful and efficient editor. :help :yank explains this:

:[range]y[ank] [x]       Yank [range] lines [into register x]. Yanking to the
                        "* or "+ registers is possible only when the
                        |+clipboard| feature is included.
