When you use vim, if you select some text and replace others, it is annoying the paste buffer is overwriten by the removed text. You cannot paste again and again. This config is helpful to avoid this situation (put it in ~/.vimrc)
function! RestoreRegister()
let @" = s:restore_reg
return ''
endfunction
function! s:Repl()
let s:restore_reg = @"
return "p@=RestoreRegister()\<cr>"
endfunction
vmap <silent> <expr> p <sid>Repl()additionnal comment from hSATAC
It may not work well if you have set clipboard=unnamed, in which case you can use:
function! RestoreRegister()
let @" = s:restore_reg
if &clipboard == "unnamed"
let @* = s:restore_reg
endif
return ''
endfunction
