.vim VS vim-cutlass

I have a keybind to paste over the selected text in visual mode, which I found myself doing a lot. Its set up so that the text that I paste over does not get placed into a buffer when it's deleted.

Here's my current vimrc file. It's heated towards C++ editing. I've used vim for a long time but a week or two ago I decided I was going to go through and modernize my vimrc file. This is where I'm currently at but it's still a work in progress.

and the remappings suggested by [cutlass(https://github.com/svermeulen/vim-cutlass). I use the ones with "x" doing the "cutting".

You can use a plugin like https://github.com/svermeulen/vim-cutlass or remap those delete commands to go to the blackhole register. See http://vimcasts.org/blog/2013/11/registers-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-parts/ for a complete explanation.

svermeulen/vim-cutlass because I hate the yand-on-delete behavior. d to delete, m to cut. ("move")

There is a plugin for this. It's actually tricky to do this without a plugin, since there are so many commands that clutter the " register on use, including every key in select mode.

I wanted to know if there was an easy way to make spacemacs' evil mode not affect yank when using dd or similar delete commands so instead of "cut" it would "delete". But I still want the "clipboard" to be global. (So I can still copy/paste things in and out of spacemacs) Basically, I'm trying to achieve what this vim plugin does. Any ideas?

EasyClip or Cutlass?

Or vim-cutlass - maybe extreme for a purist but it fits my mental model perfectly by making other operations (c cc d dd etc) delete to black hole and giving a new one for cut (eg m) - https://github.com/svermeulen/vim-cutlass

Not Neovim specific, but I use cutlass to turn off this feature for most operations: https://github.com/svermeulen/vim-cutlass

vim-cutlass is a simple plugin that does what you want. I have m (for "move") mapped to the default delete behavior (and use 'gm' for marks).
