Vim: Highlight nnoremap Y y$ (from :h Y) #25

Closed kiryph closed 6 years ago

What do I have to define in my vimrc to enable highlighting for nnoremap Y y$ as suggested under :h Y?

Following definition works

map Y <Plug>(highlightedyank)$

Can you confirmm that this is the way to go?

BTW, there is also the plugin https://github.com/haya14busa/vim-operator-flashy

machakann commented 6 years ago

Yes, this is the best way, I think. I would better to add to README and/or doc. In fact, I just write like this in my vimrc since I'm lazy.

nmap Y y$

This is not strict/explicit but works even without highlightedyank.

P.S. Yes, operator-flashy is a great plugin! In fact, I have employed it. Generally operator-flashy would be a cleaner implementation. However, it is strange to me that it is unintentionally repeated by . command even without y in cpoption. In Vim, highlightedyank has some dirty hack to avoid this (issue #19 is caused by this). TextYankPost autocommand event in neovim solves this problem, so I hope vim also had it.

Thanks for the information.

There is now a pending pull request for vim8 to add TextYankPost: https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/2333.
