Diff yank with 'gy' (the default mapping) doesn't work. #364

Hi, I couldn't get the gy mapping to yank the diff in the chat window to work. Also, it doesn't work if I assign any other key combination to mappings.yank_diff.

I was experiencing the same issue. I had my clipboard set to vim.o.clipboard = 'unnamedplus'. When commenting this out, I was able to successfully use the gy mapping.

The gy mapping stores the diff to the " register. You can validate that the diff is properly getting copied by running the :registers " command. After copying with gy, you need to validate the contents of the " register. If it is empty, you may be overwriting the register in some way.
