Hi, I've been enjoying the enhanced register support in release 23.10, but there's a minor issue that's bothering me. Coming from Vim, + was used to refer the system clipboard, and * was used to refer to the primary selection, but in Helix these are currently swapped with each other. This isn't a big deal, but it works against my muscle memory, and I imagine that might also be true for other ex-vim users with a habit of using those register keys.
Is this an intentional difference? If it makes sense to swap these keys to be consistent with Vim's, and if it would help, I could open a pull request to change the relevant code and documentation. I suppose there's also the possibility of making this behavior configurable, but I don't have a good sense of what that might take.
