vim-highlightedyank VS vim-commentary

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.

Are you try https://github.com/machakann/vim-highlightedyank?

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

Also, tpope/vim-commentary

https://github.com/tpope/vim-commentary does what you expect!

I've replaced most of my custom maps for commenting with tpope's commentary plugin. It's a great plugin. However, I wasn't happy with the lack of multi-line/block comment abilities so I created some maps to compliment the commentary plugin. Here are some maps that can be used with autocmd, FileType and for JavaScript comments.

Having said this, there are some useful language independent extensions: jiangmiao/auto-pairs, tpope/vim-commentary, preservim/tagbar, junegunn/vim-peekaboo

vim-commentary comment code comfortably with motions and visual selections alike.
