My goal is to have Vim display what was yanked, immediately after yanking. It should just be hilighted for a short period, either a few seconds, or until the next keypress.

implementation

How to do this? There's a Vim plugin that does something like this, called YankRing. It looks like it has some way to install the necessary hooks.

motivation

I want people to be able to watch over my back (or watch on a projector, or screen-sharing), and have a better idea of what's going on.
