You might want to try my plugin: YankRing.vim : Maintains a history of previous yanks and deletes http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1234 Vim already maintains a list of numbered registers containing the last 9 deletes. These previous deletes can be referenced using [register]p, so "1p will paste the last delete, "2p the 2nd last delete. For more information see |quote_number|. Vim does not provide any mechanism to reference previous yanked text. In Emacs this feature is called the "kill ring". The yankring plugin allows the user to configure the number of yanked and deleted text. A split window can be used to choose which element(s) from the yankring you wish to paste. Alternately after text has been pasted (using p), it can be replaced with a previous value from the yankring with a single key stroke. A tutorial is included to take you through the various features of the plugin. After you have installed the plugin just run: :h yankring.txt :h yankring-tutorial ... Pressing F11 (default key) will bring up the list of all recent yanks and deletes. From there you can choose which one you need to paste. HTH, Dave
