I don't want that Del-button yanks the deleted character
vim
Solution
Use the "black hole register":
"_d
To delete those blank lines, select them in visual mode and use the command above.
Problem
I don't want the 'Delete' button to yank the characters I delete. I can give an example: When cutting and pasting some rows to elsewhere. ``` code code code code2 code2 code2 ``` I want to cut `code` and paste it below `code2`. It is my habbit to first do `x` to the 3 lines of code and after that to delete the blank lines between `code` and `code2` with the `delete` button => when doing this my register changes to empty row. Does anyone has a suggestion? Thanks
