Buffers are great. Comes very handy when creating macros in vim.
I think you mean registers not buffers. buffers are file(s) loaded in memory while registers contain text yanked/deleted/last command/last search, etc.
Yeah sorry, I meant registers.
Do you yank to places outside the regular target when you create macros?
What do you mean by regular target? I am either yanking from the OS buffer or yanking things from 2 different buffers. Or I have 2 macros where they yank from different buffers.
What’s annoying about them is that there isn’t a simple way to clear a register which means you have to use both “r and “R in macros.
