>Note the trade-off does not go away: when autoselect is active for a register,
an explicit "+y (or "*y) from Visual mode is not highlighted either, since
the plugin cannot tell it apart from the bogus event. That limitation exists
today for "* and this only extends it to "+. @Arkissa, is that acceptable for
your setup, or is losing the highlight for an explicit yank the part you are
unsure about?

@h-east I’m pretty sure that making highlight work correctly in hlyank is the right behavior. This patch only temporarily makes hlyank less weird. The real issue is that `'[ `and `']` does not work correctly with mouse visual, so I think fixing that problem is the right think.

I will be open a new issue to report for `'[ `and `']` not work correctly with mouse visual.
