Damian Conway's yankmatches plugin for vim

yankmatches.vim

This is my fork of Damian Conway's yankmatches.vim. I've made some minor customizations as specified below. I am mainly storing the plugin in my own repo so that I can manage its installation with Vundle.

Customized Key Mappings

I don't like the delay after pressing y for doing regular yanks. Therefore, I've changed the default ym mapping to YM. The inverse of this is changed from YM to YI.

nmap <silent> dm  :     call ForAllMatches('delete', {})<CR>
nmap <silent> DM  :     call ForAllMatches('delete', {'inverse':1})<CR>
nmap <silent> YM  :     call ForAllMatches('yank',   {})<CR>
nmap <silent> YI  :     call ForAllMatches('yank',   {'inverse':1})<CR>
vmap <silent> dm  :<C-U>call ForAllMatches('delete', {'visual':1})<CR>
vmap <silent> DM  :<C-U>call ForAllMatches('delete', {'visual':1, 'inverse':1})<CR>
vmap <silent> YM  :<C-U>call ForAllMatches('yank',   {'visual':1})<CR>
vmap <silent> YI  :<C-U>call ForAllMatches('yank',   {'visual':1, 'inverse':1})<CR>

Configuration Options

Override the Destination Default Destination Register

By default, this plugin will save your matched text in the register defined by the clipboard setting, or if that isn't defined it will save in the " register.

However, It is possible that a user may want to use a different register for this plugin.

To configure the destination register to the a register for example:

let g:YankMatches#ClipboardRegister='a'
