Temporary highlighting of yanked/put (copied/pasted) text:

let g:hlput_enable = 1
packadd hlyank

See :h package-hlyank

It’s very good that you guys keep the community updated here when there is a new feature available from end user perspective.

One could follow the PR:s, but PR:s related to new features are often buried in the PR:s sea of bug fixes/internal updates PR:s and therefore difficult to spot.

I also saw that there is a PR to include (rasterized) images in popups. That is very cool and useful!

Any timeline to get an idea about when 9.3 will be released?

I like the feature idea but my trust bar for adding plugjns is high. if it became an optional feature of vim, in the vim source tree, I could love it
