[audit] Fix DescribeKey clobbering @a register#260
Merged
Conversation
Use vim.fn.execute() to capture :map output into a string instead of redirecting to register @A, which would silently overwrite whatever the user had yanked there. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EAkUW53kMHdfTNifKknKuZ

What
DescribeKey(options.lua:149–151) dumps the output of:mapinto register@aviaredir, then yanks it into a new buffer. Any text previously in@a(e.g. a word yanked withyiw) is silently destroyed.Where
lua/config/options.lua:150Why it matters
vim.fn.execute()captures command output as a Lua string without touching any register. The resulting buffer is populated vianvim_buf_set_lines, which is equivalent to the oldput abut register-safe. No behavioral change to the user-visible result.Recommended action
