Re: Prevent copying of pasted-over text to register.

Hy, my friend.

The Vim unnamed register is used to store any text yanked or deleted using the normal mode mappings like "d", "c", "s" or "x". If you need to keep the text you yanked to use it several times, you need to place it in a "named" register. For example, selecting a word, or sequence of words, and type, in normal mode:

"ya

This will place the selection in the register 'a'. When you need to paste the text in this register you will use, also in normal mode:

"ap

See the help at 'registers'

:h registers

Also see "Copying and moving text":

:h copy-move

Bram's last words (on vim-use):

I don't think we can fix this in Vim.  The error is valid, if we skip it
then mistakes will go unnoticed.  With Vim 9 script we want to find more
errors, not less.  So long as they are valid errors.

An idea we can take in a much more general sense, I believe.

Re: RIP Bram

This is terrible news, and not just because of Vim itself, of course. He was a unique and kind person, and I will miss him both for his effect on my life and for his own importance. I really feel personally broken over this, as I'm sure many others here do as well.

This is horrible, awful news. Bram knew all the answers, was eager to
help everyone, guided the project well, and he was always nice. What a
gaping hole his loss leaves in free software.

May he rest in peace, and may each of the two projects (that I know
of) which were dear to his heart, namely Vim and ICCF/Kibaale, not
disappear with him — Bram wouldn't want all his life's work to be
reduced to nought — but find someone to step into Bram's footsteps.

Depending on the exact date, time and place, I may or may not be able
to attend the funeral service because of existing commitments. Het
feit dat het in het Nederlands zal gebeuren is voor mij geen probleem.

Met diep en oprecht medeleven,
Toone Mechelynck.

Re: Where is Bram?

Hi Bram,

I am deeply saddened to know that you are gone forever, 

deeply sad at all that you have given us teachings.

And a powerful tool with a fine and subtle intelligence as you was, particularly rich in humanity, for the children of Uganda and of the world as well as for us older children.  

A masterpiece that will remain engraved just like its author on this small planet.

Courage to loved ones and family.

We will miss you Bram. 

Nicolas

Yes, so shocking - I have been using Vim for so long - I guess, after a
while, you assume the author will be there forever . . very sad for his
family and friends . .

Yes, it would be nice to hear more about him - I was always impressed by
