I don’t have the name handy, but there’s at least one plugin for vim that shows buffer previews in a popup. I’ve got it mapped to leader-sb (for “show buffer”).
You can see all registers in use with :registers, to paste from a register say "2 in insert mode use key combination <ctrl-r>2 or in normal mode "2p. You can check out more in :help registers. Unnamed register or "" is the system clipboard I think. To copy texts in a register you can prepend yank (/delete/cut, etc.) with that register "_ (for black hole register[1])
This is for neovim. Have keybinds for them and there saved you a plugin :D
Text yanked in this register is gone, i.e. it’s not saved in any register. ↩︎
So far I haven’t been brave enough for that feature. It’s either “that main place yank goes”, “system clipboard”, or “that place that makes it disappear” for me
ive never had to think about clipboard buffers until i used a modal editor.
now i spend %60 of my time trying to figure out where the copied symbol went.
