delete without saving into the default register

10 years ago

Often I find myself with text in the default register that I want to paste somewhere, but only after I delete something new that's in the way. These allow me to quickly delete that new thing without losing what was in the default register (by putting it into the underscore register, which is a black hole, like /dev/null).
