vim-cutlass VS vim-mark

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).

Do you know vim-mark: https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-mark.

Although, now I use vim-mark instead.

https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-mark may be of interest (the README also has a 'related works' section).

You can open result in current window. You can select multiple results into quickfix (and then do e.g. :cfdo...). You can go through results and you have preview with the context of the result line. When you mark more strings by e.g. https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-mark you have fast visual overview of more complex information (you search for an expression but other highlighted expressions in context allows you to decide faster if the result is relevant).

I tried out vim-mark recently but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with Neovim. Does anyone know of an alternative that has similar functionality? I'm looking for something that can highlight several different searches/selections in different colors.

inkarkat/vim-mark I use this plugin SO much, especially when attempting to grok old, hard-to-follow codebases or massive xml config files that I frequently inherit.
