Make the yanked region apparent!

there is no need for configuration, as the highlight event is automatically triggered by the TextYankPost event.

define a keymapping to <Plug>(highlightedyank). Checking the existence of TextYankPost event would be good.

if !exists('##TextYankPost')
  map y <Plug>(highlightedyank)
endif

If you want to optimize highlight duration, use g:highlightedyank_highlight_duration or b:highlightedyank_highlight_duration. Assign a number of time in milliseconds.

let g:highlightedyank_highlight_duration = 1000

A negative number makes the highlight persistent.

let g:highlightedyank_highlight_duration = -1

When a new text is yanked or user starts editing, the old highlighting would be deleted.

If the highlight is not visible for some reason, you can redefine the HighlightedyankRegion highlight group like:

hi HighlightedyankRegion cterm=reverse gui=reverse
