After reading this my mind went to the same place of viewing the clipboard as a stack. Wonder if that’s possible system-wide.

One solution I have in vim which I always forget to use is adding an additional d or p to use a secondary paste buffer:

vnoremap dd "ad

nnoremap ddd "add

nnoremap pp "ap

You can also move lines up and down using the move command:

  :[range]m[ove] {address}

Some common remaps:

  vnoremap <c-j> :m '>+1<CR>gv=gv
  vnoremap <c-k> :m '<-2<CR>gv=gv
  inoremap <c-j> <Esc>:m .+1<CR>==gi
  inoremap <c-k> <Esc>:m .-2<CR>==gi
  nnoremap <leader>j :m .+1<CR>==
  nnoremap <leader>k :m .-2<CR>==
