Add an example to tutor how to yank & paste multiple selections using y and p bindings

[dmitry-krasilnikov]

I think that yanking and pasting when working with multiple selections is quite a complicated feature. It took me some time, reading, and debugging paste_impl function just to realize that I need more than one selection in order to paste more than one selection I had previously yanked.

I believe adding this information with examples to tutor will be advantageous to anyone who hasn't had experience with multiple selections before.

Is there another copy paste implimentation out there that wouldn't need you to select multiple lines to then paste over multiple lines? In every editor/browser/OS I have ever used this was always the case. What editor are you coming from that it would just override prior text rather than insert in, either where the cursor is or where the selection is?

@RoloEdits I did not say that other editors implement it differently. All I said was that multiple selections is a complicated feature. I did not have any prior experience dealing with this feature coming from NeoVim and I wanted to contribute my perspective realizing that there are people like me out there who might not get the idea without documentation in helix.

I did not say anything about overriding text. My main confusion was that after yanking several selections with y and then pasting with p in a scratch buffer opened in a split view I only got the primary selection's contents, while what I had expected to happen was to insert the contents of all selections split among the same number of the original selections. I got that expectation after reading all the bits on yanking behavior in the book and after going through tutor. When I read the code and did some debugging I understood that there had to be the same number of selections at the location I wanted to paste into, then I figured that I had to first add new lines in a scratch buffer and then make multiple selection on each of those lines and only then pasting would produce the desirable result.

Btw, I am aware of join and yank feature, I use it all the time when I don't need to keep multiple selections after pasting. This issue was opened only because of the plain yank & paste behavior.
