Vim: use + as default case only for yank command

I would like to use + register (system clipboard) only for the yank command (that is, do not overwrite this register on dd or other commands).

 :set clipboard+=unnamed

will not work because it enters the dd rewrite described above.

You can overwrite the default yank commands so that they are by default in the system clipboard unless another register is explicitly specified:

 :nnoremap <expr> y (v:register ==# '"' ? '"+' : '') . 'y' :nnoremap <expr> yy (v:register ==# '"' ? '"+' : '') . 'yy' :nnoremap <expr> Y (v:register ==# '"' ? '"+' : '') . 'Y' :xnoremap <expr> y (v:register ==# '"' ? '"+' : '') . 'y' :xnoremap <expr> Y (v:register ==# '"' ? '"+' : '') . 'Y'

d more like "cut" than "delete". You get normal behavior.

You can use the "black hole register" though: "_d . I matched it with <leader>d .
