whats_all_this_thenI still don't get buffers
JoYoive 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.
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[^black_hole])
This is for neovim. Have keybinds for them and there saved you a plugin :D
[^black_hole]: Text yanked in this register is gone, i.e. it’s not saved in any register.
