A Neovim plugin written in Lua that enhances yank and put (copy/paste) functionality. It provides a yank ring with history navigation, a history picker, highlighted yanked text, cursor position preservation, and special put operations.

Use cases

• cycle through previously yanked text in neovim
• keep a persistent yank history across neovim sessions
• paste text with automatic indentation adjustment
• highlight yanked text so I can see what was copied
• preserve cursor position when yanking in vim
• paste and reindent lines in neovim
• search my yank history with telescope

When to choose

• you use Neovim 0.9+ and want a better copy/paste workflow
• you want a yank ring or clipboard history inside the editor
• you want smarter paste behaviors like auto-indent and special puts

When to avoid

• you don't use Neovim or Vim
• you only need basic system clipboard integration
• you want a GUI clipboard manager outside the terminal
