Hi,
I frequently get bugged when pasting over a visually selected block of text
and the default register contains the deleted text afterwards - chances
are, I want to paste the same text multiple times.
A while ago I found a convenient map to get around that by replacing the
content of the default register:
`vnoremap P p:call setreg('"', getreg('0'))<CR>`
That worked fine in terminal vim 7.3 (the version in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) but
doesn't seem to work on my own machine (terminal vim 8 on ArchLinux).
Checking with `:reg "`, I see that it does indeed contain the right
content, but when pasting, it appears that the contents of the last
selection register `"*` is used instead - I'd need to explicitly paste from
the unnamed register `""p`.
Do I misunderstand something or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
