Hey again @tversteeg
In case I'm the culprit, I'll open a thread in the discussion section. If work needs to be done, an issue can still be created.
As far as I've been able to test, it doesn't seem possible to specify an empty target register for a yank. The register must already be filled in order to become accessible when using registers.nvim .
Visual examples are usually better than words, so I'll post a short video of the misbehavior below. First it shows that it is possible to specify the a register as target when it is occupied. If it is empty, other registers like "+ or "% are targetet. (Check nvims Indicator at the bottom right)
Sequence.1.mp4
Without using registers.nvim an "a will be target "a even if it's empty.
