I still don't get buffers - programming.dev

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.

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”).

yah, helix has that in the info bar oob.

im just not thinking about that when im copying shit, i just want to copy paste like it’s 1999.
