Not sure if this answers your question, but:
- Register 0 (zero) remembers the latest _yank_ even if the
corresponding text isn't part of your editfile anymore;
- Registers 1 (one) to 9 (nine) remember the nine latest _delete_s, "1
being always the most recent of them, and "9 the least recent.
By using the ":reg[isters]" or ":di[splay]" ex-command, you can see what
these registers (or any other registers) hold at any given time, so you
can use e.g.
"0p
or
:.-1put 3
etc., to recover what is held in one of these registers (and, maybe,
nowhere else).
Registers " (double-quote), aka the "unnamed register" and register -
(dash), aka the "small delete register" can also be of use in some cases.
See
:help registers
and what comes after it.
Best regards,
Tony.
