@AndrewRadev Yes: complete, unwavering commitment to backwards compatibility has long been one of the things I’ve most appreciated about Vim, too. It’s one of the main (legitimate) reasons I’m still not on Neovim.

@AndrewRadev I wasn’t aware of either of those before, but even so, this feels qualitatively different.

I had seen a couple of mentions of Claude being found in the GitHub repo over the past few days, but I didn’t expect *this*.

I’ve never followed Vim’s development that closely but from what I did see of it under Bram I would have described his approach with words like “careful” and “cautious”. I’ve been presuming the new maintainers would continue that legacy. This… doesn’t look like that.

@AndrewRadev This thread is extremely surprising (and, honestly, upsetting) to me.

Can't remember how many deletions ago the text you want to paste was? Take a rough guess using Price is Right rules (don't go over) or just paste from the "1 register by typing   "1p   . If you guessed wrong, then press   u   to remove the incorrect paste and then hit   .   to increment the register you're accessing and re-paste. Each time you hit   .
   the next register up will be used.

#Vimovember Day 11: Registers

Whenever you delete a line or more, Vim saves the deleted text in the "1 register.

Which might not sound that exciting till you wonder what happens to what was prevously in that register. It is bumped up into the "2 register! And whatever was already in *there* is moved to the "3 register.

So your most recent 9 deletions are always available to be putted back into your buffer.
