    I can’t tell if ops joke is “intentionally confusing buffers with registers” and everyone is playing along or if people aren’t making the distinction between the two in this thread.

    Which is ironic and humorous…potentially by accident.

      I’m an idiot and I think I confused the two haha

      My thought process based on when I setup my config: “yank copies to my main ‘buffer’, <leader> yank copies to system clipboard through that special ‘buffer’, and <leader> delete deletes without replacing what’s in my main ‘buffer’. I have multiple clipboards!”

      Completely forgot they’re called registers and that buffers are just “where text is” (at least as far as I understand it)
