Scratch without opening window

Open kevintraver opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Curious your thoughts on this idea:

The ability to save to the scratchpad without ever showing the window. It could just automatically append to the end, sort of like how scratch-selection-reuse does now, but everything would happen in the background.

Along with that could be word motions.

For example: gsap could scratch the paragraph)

Would be glad to help with a PR.

This sounds cool; we just should be careful not to re-implement the uppercase registers' functionality (if you write to register A, it appends the contents to the register's value). Maybe we can provide a simple command to load and edit any named register in the scratch window. That would be lightweight and build upon existing functionality.
