  • A micro plugin for highlighting yanked text in Vim9.
    4 projects | /r/vim | 29 May 2023
    Yesterday I discovered the YankTextPost autocommands-event and I get fairly excited. After having wondered how can I use it, I decided to write my own plugin for highlighting yanked text because it is a feature that I love. In-fact I have been using https://github.com/machakann/vim-highlightedyank for long time and I know that are other plugins around that serve for the same purpose.
  • Is there a setting to highlight text that you just yanked?

  • Highlight yanked text
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 17 Feb 2022
    I was not aware of this and used vim-highlightedyank instead. I tried vim.highlight.on_yank just now. It seems that the highlight persists after pasting and the timeout works incorrectly when making successive yanks within the timeout period. So vim-highlightedyank could be a better choice if you prefer a longer timeout.

    Someone also mentioned vim-highlightedyank. After a yank, that yanked region is highlighted for a brief second. Also provides good visual feedback
