Plugin emulation for ReplaceWithRegister

[fredlebel]

FEATURE REQUEST

Vim plugin ReplaceWithRegister is quite useful. Would it be possible to emulate it?

This supports only visual-mode, but the following config replaces selected text with register content without destroying register content.

    "vim.otherModesKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
        {
            "before": ["g", "r"],
            "after": ["p", "g", "v", "y"]
        }
    ]

        }
    ]

Thanks for the advice, but how would this be used? Can't see how this mimics the ReplaceWithRegister plugin. If i copy something, I expect to write gr{motion} to delete {motion} and in its place insert what's in the register.

Thanks for hooking these together @J-Fields (I should have done an issue search!). I've updated the PR description to link to this issue 👍
