      The LeftMouse() function can test whether you are in the special register 
window, with expand("%"), and where on the line you are, with line(), col(), and 
getline().

      That depends on how many there are, and personal preference.

      I have not tried the regview plugin, but if I have

@a = "foo"
@b = "bar"

displayed in a side window, I would rather type "ap then switch windows.  In TeX 
files, where line breaks are flexible, I often put

complicated$^{\hbox{\rm expressions}}$ that get repeated

on lines by themselves, and then use <C-X><C-L> to recall them

:help ins-completion
