Hi, Sometimes, there is a need for a mapping to yank something without a trace so it has to save and restore the relevant registers. The problem is that there is no way to set register " without modifying register 0. So if, for example, I yanked something and then deleted something else and now want to do a yank as part of a mapping, this mapping will have to restore register " with the deleted text. But now the original content of register 0 (the yanked text) is lost.
Maybe we need to add an option to setreg() to avoid setting register 0 along with register ". Another issue: register 1 contains the last deleted text also when specifying another register ("xdd). This is not according to the help and yank behavior: "Numbered register 0 contains the text from the most recent yank command, unless the command specified another register with ["x]. Numbered register 1 contains the text deleted by the most recent delete or change command, unless the command specified another register" Thanks, Ramel -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
