## What it is
A Vim plugin that extends the ", @, and CTRL-R key mappings to display the contents of Vim registers in a sidebar. It automatically closes the sidebar on subsequent keystrokes and offers customization options for window layout and register display.

## Use cases
- preview vim register contents before pasting
- see what is in registers when using macros
- browse registers while inserting text with ctrl-r
- find the right register for yanked text
- inspect macro registers before replaying

## When to choose
- you frequently use vim registers and macros and want visual feedback
- you want a lightweight, zero-configuration vim plugin from a trusted author

## When to avoid
- you don't use vim or neovim
- you rarely use registers or macros in your editing workflow

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: editor, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: vim, vim-plugin, registers, editor-enhancement
