Its not 100% clear what you want;  does
  :echo expand(cword)
illustrate something like what you want?


Exactly what I want! Thanks!!

 Hi All,

 I know this mustbe pretty simple but I can't figure this out. I want
 to copy a word into a buffer without moving the cursor. Currently I do
 something like

 *ayw^O:nohCR

 to get this effect. But, this seems like such a round about way to do
 this. Is there a simpler way to achieve this?

Yes :-).
The simpler way is to map it to single key :-), like F2 :-)
I'd imagine that typing 11 keys doesn't feel the right
typing-to-effect ratio.
