vim: registers are awesome

19 Nov 2024

:reg - show all registers

:reg asdf - show only registers "asdf"

"ayy copy into register "a"

"ap paste from register "a"

Registers "123456789" contains the deleted lines in descent order.

The most WOW thing I've just discovered: macros are stored in registers! So you can qw to record a macro into the register w, then do "wp - paste the content of the macro into the current line, then edit it, do "wdd to "delete" the macros back into the w register, and apply it as usual with @w.
