Hi Dear community,

Command o and O create new line and switch to insert mode. I want only
insert blank line and stay in normal mode. I know this problem can be
solved using simple mappting, but maybe in vim there are original
commands for this tip?
Thanks a lot


IIUC there are no intrinsic commands for this; but you could use

    o<Esc>
    O<Esc>

at the keyboard, or

    :put =''
    :.-1put =''

For some reason
   :put_
   :put!_
also work.  Another odd detail, in fact nothing should be inserted (?)
because the "black hole" register is always empty.

in a script.


Best regards,

The black hole register being empty, its content is always the empty string. But since ":put" works linewise, that empty string is inserted on a new line. So putting _ or ='' is the same thing.


Best regards,
