Black spot between register symbol and register content.

Was this something which used to work for you, and then stopped?

I never saw this working

Describe the bug

See the following image.

Now, when I add these lines onto registers.nvim/lua/registers.lua it kind of gets fixed. Except the background of the register symbol section (Notice how the background is slightly lighter than that of the cursor line). I have tried changing some highlighting groups but to no avail.

    -- Define the matches and link them
    -- vim.cmd([[syntax match RegistersNumber "\d\+"]])
    vim.cmd([[syntax match RegistersNumber "[-+]\?\d\+\.\?\d*"]])
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl(namespace, "RegistersNumber", { link = "Number" })

    vim.cmd([[syntax region RegistersString start=+"+ skip=+\\"+ end=+"+ oneline]])
    vim.cmd([[syntax region RegistersString start=+'+ skip=+\\'+ end=+'+ oneline]])
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl(namespace, "RegistersString", { link = "String" })
    
    -- these lines
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl(namespace, "SignColumn", { link = "NormalFloat" })
    vim.api.nvim_set_hl(namespace, "CursorLineSign", { link = "CursorLine" })

I do not know if this is intentional. Kinda looked weird to me.

if not ok then return end

registers.setup({

    space = " ",
    tab = ">",
    register_type_charwise = "",
    register_type_linewise = "",

  },
  window = {
    max_width = 100,
    highlight_cursorline = true,
    border = "solid",
    transparency = 0,
  },
  sign_highlights = {
    cursorline = "Visual",
    selection = "Constant",
    default = "Function",

  },
})

[dogma]

local namespace = vim.api.nvim_get_namespaces()["registers"]
if not namespace then return end
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(namespace, "SignColumn", { link = "NormalFloat" })
vim.api.nvim_set_hl(namespace, "CursorLineSign", { link = "CursorLine" })

Did this for the moment.

Thanks for that, it would be much apprecisted if you make a PR adding it to the highlights yoy can set.

Okay! I'll do that.
