Clojurians Log v2

I'm having a bit of trouble recently where I'll select a bit of text, yank it, move somewhere new, and then press p to paste, and the entire function is pasted in instead

has anyone experienced anything like that before?

it happens rarely enough that i can't pinpoint which plug-in is causing it

maybe Plug 'machakann/vim-highlightedyank' and :registers can help debug?

you can use :registers to confirm what was yanked

but it sounds like it's an intermittent thing

interesting, i'll try that, thanks

While we're on the subject of being sure what you yanked, I just stumbled upon this plugin today and installed it, and it's great. It solves a problem I didn't know that I had 😄 https://github.com/machakann/vim-highlightedyank

thanks for telling me about :registers, y'all

it's also great when you yanked or cut something a few edits back and want to use it again without undo

yeah, registers are great when you plan ahead, though (aside from the + register) i rarely use them anymore since i started using yankring

looks like something is inserting the whole function def into the * register, think it has to do with coc.nvim, but i don't have the time to dig into that, so i'll just use the " register to stay safe

the key thing is that previous yanks show up in the registers automatically, though using the paste / undo cycle browses them as well

you don't need to plan ahead for them any more than you do when using the yank ring

oh nice. i was thinking of naming registers (`"a`, etc)

right that shows up in the output of :registers too
