Does ko09 have a feature anything like "registers in Vim"?

How To
1

Rationale

It would be nice to be able to store off values from userscripts without having to use the clipboard (and potentially clobbering a value that was supposed to be saved there).

Answer

Yes. One way this can be accomplished is with a KO userscript and the following component:

    Components.classes['@activestate.com/koPrefService;1']
          .getService(Components.interfaces.koIPrefService)
          .prefs
          ;

… to store off arbitrary values.

You can use ko/prefs for this, documented here:
