use TextYankRing autocmd instead of hacking mappings when possible

[bennyyip]

Vim8 and NeoVim have TextYankRing autocmd now. With this feature, we can easily get register type and register content when something puts into it, without hacking mappings.

Thanks for mentioning the new autocmd TextYankPost.

I have looked into it and made some preliminary changes to test things out.

That feature only works on yanked and deleted text.

The YankRing works on much more than that. For example, when you change text, the YankRing stores the previous values.

Using this feature does in fact remove a lot of maps, but certainly not all of them to keep the features in tact.

I will release a new version which uses this feature.

Looking forward to the new YankRing!

This plugin works slow in neovim. When I try to delete and copy line, I have a large delay.

[dfishburn]

The delay sounds like conflicting maps.

Can you create this file bare_bones.vim:

nnoremap <silent> <Leader>yr :YRSearch<CR>
nnoremap <silent> <F11> :YRShow<CR>

source c:\vim\vimfiles\plugin\yankring.vim

Then start Vim using:

gvim -N --noplugins -u bare_bones.vim -U bare_bones.vim

Then try your test again.

If it is still slow, then please show exactly what you are doing that is slow, key stroke for key stroke.
