evil helix does not respect some settings

[abdullah-albanna]

Summary

there is some settings that are being ignored, some of them are

default-yank-register

it does not apply what are specified in the default yank, so if I yanked, it still get's to the " registery, even though I specifed the + registery

statusline.mode

changing the text of the mode to another does not work, for example

mode.normal = "NORMAL", it does not change, it still says NOR

there might be other settings, but this is what I've got so far

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. hx
2. yy to a line

I expected this to happen:

to copy to what got specifed in the default yank registry

Instead, this happened:

it got yanked to either the " or just nothing

might as well point out to this

evil-helix/helix-term/src/commands/evil.rs

Line 479 in 8d82e9c

.write(cx.register.unwrap_or('"'), values);

which might be the cause, it's using the " as a fallback
