I use your plugin and it's very nice, thank you, I have a small comment
/ question: it disables a useful idiom for exchanging two chunks of
text, e.g.:
(word1, word2) => delete word1, visually select word2, 'p' to paste
over it, '2b' to go back, P to paste word2.
Is there some trick or an option to have it work with YankRing?
thanks! -Rainyday
