To easily swap between different registers it is convenient to map a key to move the registers in a "circular list". The following mapping illustrates the idea: :nnoremap s :let @x=@" \| let @"=@a \| let @a=@b \| let @b=@x Now you can cycle between the registers "", "a, "b by pressing \s (assuming the default backslash for the leader key). * :let @a=@b copies register "b to register "a. * | separates Ex commands; \ escapes the pipe for the map command. This is also useful if you want to copy between the xclipboard and the unnamed standard register of Vim:

abstract	To easily swap between different registers it is convenient to map a key to move the registers in a "circular list". The following mapping illustrates the idea: :nnoremap s :let @x=@" \\| let @"=@a \\| let @a=@b \\| let @b=@x Now you can cycle between the registers "", "a, "b by pressing \s (assuming the default backslash for the leader key). * :let @a=@b copies register "b to register "a. * \| separates Ex commands; \ escapes the pipe for the map command. This is also useful if you want to copy between the xclipboard and the unnamed standard register of Vim: :nnoremap s :let @a=@" \\| let @"=@+ \\| let @+=@a Another usage can be found in cycling through the cut/copy history, i.e. cycling through the numbered registers. To see what it's changing, you could modify the command like this: :nnoremap s :let @x=@" \\| let @"=@a \\| let @a=@b \\| let @b=@x \\| reg "ab
