Multiple buffer of VIM

Vim has following buffer. You can use help registers to get detail help in VIM.

Unamed register:""

Use it when you not point out any register.

Numbered register:"1 to "9

You can specify them in y,yy and p command. But VIM will use them as a queue. Which mean VIM always put latest change in "0 and shift content of each register to next one. It means $9 will be lost. For VIM compatible, %, (, ),`, /, ? n,N, {, } trigged delete always use "1.
