the <Xq> command now supports the @ modifier for cutting into the register
* Can be freely combined with the colon-modifier as well. :@Xq cut-appends to register q. * This simply deletes the given buffer range after the copy or append operation as if followed by another <K> command. * This has indeed been a very annoying missing feature, as you often have to retype the range for a K or D command. At the same time, this cannot be reasonably solved with a macro since macros do not accept Q-Register arguments -- so we would have to restrict ourselves to one or a few selected registers. I was also considering to solve this with a special stack operation that duplicates the top values, so that Xq leaves arguments for K, but this couldn't work for cutting lines and would also be longer to type. * It's the first non-string command that accepts @. Others may follow in the future. We're approaching ITS TECO madness levels.
