Description

|
-----------
|
|
Registers are named lists of text -instead of simply text- in order to interact
|
|
well with multiselection. They are used for various purposes, like storing
|
|
the last yanked test, or the captured groups associated with the selections.

-----------
|
|
*<c-r><c>*::

when in insert mode or in a prompt, insert the value stored in the
|
|
*c* register (single character)
|
|
|
|
*"<c>*::
|
|
in normal mode, select the *<c>* register (single character)
|
|
|
|
Alternate names

Special registers

-----------------
|
|
Some registers are not general purposes, they cannot be written to, but they
|
|
contain some special data
|
|
|
|
*%* (percent)::
|
|
current buffer name
|
|
|
|
*.* (dot)::
|
|
current selection contents
|
|
|
|
*#* (hash)::
|
|
selection indices (first selection has 1, second has 2, ...)
|
|
|
|
*_* (underscore)::
|
|
null register, always empty
|
|
|
|
Integer registers
|
|
-----------------
|
|
Registers *1* to *9* hold the grouped sub-matches of the regular
|
|
expression used to make the last selection. Example: applying the
|
|
following regular expression to the date of the day would put the day of
|
|
the week in register *1*, the month in register *2*, and the day of the
|
|
month in register *3*, but select the entire date:
