Much like bookmarks, registers store data that we can reinstate
quickly ([[#h:581aa0ff-b136-4099-a321-3b86edbfbccb][The =prot-emacs-essentials.el= settings for bookmarks]]). A
common use-case is to write some text to a register and then insert
that text by calling the given register. This is much better than
relying on the ~kill-ring~, because registers are meant to be
overwritten by the user, whereas the ~kill-ring~ accumulates lots of
text that we do not necessarily need.
To me, registers are essential for keyboard macros. By default,
registers do not persist between Emacs sessions, though I do need to
re-use them from time to time, hence the arrangement to record them
with ~savehist-mode~ ([[#h:25765797-27a5-431e-8aa4-cc890a6a913a][The =prot-emacs-completion.el= settings for saving the history (~savehist-mode~)]]).
