Re: How to add content to register instead of replace the old

I want an append mode, whatever its key mapping, when in this mode current content should be appended to the register.
the are a lot of yank command and I dont want to give each one an map.

I'm not sure it's possible?

The standard/default register doesn't allow for easy appending.
However, if you name a register, you can then append to it by using
the capital version of the same letter:

  "aY        yank the current line into register "a"
  5j         move around somewhere
  "AY        yank the current line into register "a", appending

I'm not sure what your "\y" mapping does, but if it accepts arbitrary
registers, this should work for you.
