    Buffers are great. Comes very handy when creating macros in vim.

      Do you yank to places outside the regular target when you create macros?

        What do you mean by regular target? I am either yanking from the OS buffer or yanking things from 2 different buffers. Or I have 2 macros where they yank from different buffers.

      I think you mean registers not buffers. buffers are file(s) loaded in memory while registers contain text yanked/deleted/last command/last search, etc.
