## What it Does

7
YankBank stores the N recent yanks into the unnamed register ("), then populates a popup window with these recent yanks, allowing for quick access to recent yank history.

8
Upon opening the popup menu, the current contents of the unnamedplus (+) register are also added to the menu (if they are different than the current contents of the unnamed register).

Choosing an entry from the menu (by hitting enter) will paste it into the currently open buffer at the cursor position.

The menu is specific to the current session, and will only contain the contents of the current unnamedplus register upon opening in a completely new session.

It will be populated further for each yank or deletion in that session.

- Note: If 'max_entries' is a two-digit number, there will be a delay upon pressing numbers that prefix a valid entry.
