You d-delete a block in Neovim, then try to paste what you yanked earlier — but what comes out is what you just deleted.
At first I thought Neovim wasn’t talking to wl-clipboard:
vim.opt.clipboard = "unnamedplus"That wasn’t it. unnamedplus syncs every d to the system clipboard, so the delete overwrites what you had yanked.
Vim’s logic is: delete is cut — deleted text goes to a register by default. To make d delete without yanking, route it to the black-hole register _ in ~/.config/nvim/init.lua:
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', 'd', '"_d', { noremap = true })
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', 'D', '"_D', { noremap = true })
vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', 'dd', '"_dd', { noremap = true })
