PR Summary
This PR builds upon the existing support for Vi Registers and now supports two new named registers:
_
(underscore) supports copying text into the "black hole" register. That text is lost forever and is not copied to the internal builtin clipboard.+
(plus sign) or"
(double-quote) supports copying text to, and pasting text from the operating system host’s system clipboard. Copied text does not end up in the internal builtin clipboard which stays unaffected.This PR is a follow up on design discussions that happened in #3769.
