      I’m an idiot and I think I confused the two haha

      My thought process based on when I setup my config: “yank copies to my main ‘buffer’, <leader> yank copies to system clipboard through that special ‘buffer’, and <leader> delete deletes without replacing what’s in my main ‘buffer’. I have multiple clipboards!”

      Completely forgot they’re called registers and that buffers are just “where text is” (at least as far as I understand it)

      I kind of assumed that his comment was independent of the meme he posted and served more to underline a perceived power that vim has over other editors. In this case a power OP doesn’t even understand/use himself.
