I've looked in:
:help v_p
:help registers
and I cannot find this behavior documented, and so I wonder if it's a bug.
If I visually select a block and hit "p" to paste from the unnamed
buffer, the block I'm overwriting gets put into the unnamed buffer.
There are two strange consequences of this:
1. If I need to make several replacements down my file, I have to do a
new copy between each replacement (or use a new buffer).
2. If I select the same block over and over again, hitting "p" will
toggle the block back and forth from its old state to its new state.
Is this the desired behavior? If so, shouldn't it be documented?
Also, is there any way to disable this behavior? I'm happier knowing
that only "d", "c", "s", 'x", and "y" put things into the unnamed buffer.
