Numbered register 0 contains the text from the most recent yank command,
unless the command specified another register with ["x].
Numbered register 1 contains the text deleted by the most recent delete or
-change command, unless the command specified another register or the text is
-less than one line (the small delete register is used then). An exception is
-made for the delete operator with these movement commands: |%|, |(|, |)|, |`|,
-|/|, |?|, |n|, |N|, |{| and |}|. Register "1 is always used then (this is Vi
-compatible). The "- register is used as well if the delete is within a line.
-Note that these characters may be mapped. E.g. |%| is mapped by the matchit
-plugin.

With each successive deletion or change, Vim shifts the previous contents
of register 1 into register 2, 2 into 3, and so forth, losing the previous
contents of register 9.
