Previously the register selection (via
"
) would be lost in the middle of any key sequence longer than one key. For example,<space>f
would clear the register selection after the<space>
making it inaccessible for thefile_picker
command.This behavior does not currently have any effect in the default keymap but might affect custom keymaps. This change aligns the behavior of the register with count. Making this change allows propagating the register to the
command_palette
(see the child commit) or other pickers should we decide to use registers in those in the future. (Interactive global search for example.)
