Is it possible to preserve a register in vimscript while I do some work? I know
I can do
:let saved_a = @a
...
: let @a = saved_a
to preserve the text in the register. And if that text ends with a CR or LF,
when it's restored it will be restored as a linewise selection, otherwise a
characterwise one.
But is it possible to preserve content that is blockwise? Suppose I select a
chunk of text using Ctrl-V and then do "ay. If I do the above, then paste, it
will be pasted characterwise rather than blockwise.
I'm trying to write a script that uses a couple of registers, and I want to
avoid trashing them. I could just say register z (say) is reserved for my
script, but I'd rather not do that if I can avoid it...
Thanks,
Paul
