vim-ReplaceWithRegister VS vim-cutlass

With https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-ReplaceWithRegister, yiqgllA,

If you're into hidden gems: * This fixes repeat behaviour for all visual modes, like proper . in visual block. * This this provides a proper paste-over operator, working with all register types (text?,line,block).

My favourite solution to this is the ReplaceWithRegister plugin.

I would recommend this plugin to solve this kind of problems https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-ReplaceWithRegister

Thanks a lot for this recommendation! This particular repo hasn't been updated since 2014, here is a more up-to-date version by the same author: https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-ReplaceWithRegister.

The best solution I've found to this is a plug-in called Replace with register, which maps to gr (mnemonic "go replace"). This lets you just do diw, move, griw.

If you don't mind using plugins, take a look at vim-replace-with-register, which is designed to solve exactly this problem. It gives you a command, mapped to gr by default, which replaces the following text object with the contents of a register. So you can delete a word (daw), then move to a different word and replace it with the contents of the default register (graw).

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).
