Later you could cycle through the items in the stack by pressing shortcuts without worrying about losing the text you killed previously.</p> <p>There&rsquo;re a lot plugins for vim to mimic this behavior, like yankstack.vim, yankring.vim. Unfortunately, these plugins change too much of vim&rsquo;s default behavior and often conflict with many other plugins.</p> <p>So I did a little research to see if I could achieve this function with vim&rsquo;s built-in features, and it turns out vim&rsquo;s register could fulfill my need easily.</p>
