# The Black Hole Register
|
||||
|
||||
Vim has a variety of registers for storing and moving around text. Vim also
|
||||
has a special register called the *black hole register*.
|
||||
|
||||
> When writing to this register, nothing happens. This can be used to delete
|
||||
> text without affecting the normal registers. When reading from this register,
|
||||
> nothing is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
As stated in the docs, if you don't want to overwrite the unnamed register or
|
||||
some other register when deleting text, you can use the black hole register.
|
||||
For instance, to deleting the current line without any register side-effects
|
||||
looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"_dd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See `:h registers` for more info on Vim's registers.
