|    Vi: is there any way not to yank text I'    |
|    16 Feb 26 23:29:32    |
      From: swapjim@example.org              I'm using GVim 9.1 on Windows to learn traditional Vi by setting 'set       compatible' in the vimrc file.              I then select some text using 'v' and delete it using x. However, this       also copies the text (yanks it). Same thing happens when I try to delete       a few lines with 10dd or 10dw.              Is this normal behavior? If yes, is there a way to not to yank the text       I'm deleting?              Is this perhaps Vim behavior? The Vi bundled with BusyBox that runs on       my router also yanks text it deletes.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
