Description

Describe the solution you'd like
A fade effect for the background color when using yank.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A similar effect can be seen in Atom's vim-mode

Additional context
To clarify, I mean a fade in relation to time, for example if the background color was determined using a css rule, I'm referring to something like "transition: 0.5s;" for fading out, not in.

No files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by locating the yank highlight implementation and reviewing how its background color is applied; compare the requested behavior with Atom's vim-mode. Done means the yank highlight fades out over time rather than disappearing abruptly.
