          Get Better At Yanking And Putting In Vim
a couple of nifty tricks to help you copy-paste better:
- reselecting previously selected text (i use this to fix botched selections): - gv " :h gv for more " you can use `o` in visual mode to go to the `Other` end of the selection " use a motion to fix the selection
- reselecting previously yanked text: - `[v`] `[ " marks the beginning of the previously yanked text :h `[ `] " marks the end :h `] v " visual select everything in between nnoremap gb `[v`] " "a quick map to perform the above
- pasting and indenting text (in one go): - ]p " put (p) and adjust indent to current line ]P " put the text before the cursor (P) and adjust indent to current line
