Here's an idea. The :nu command prints lines with their line
numbers and the :redir command redirects printed output to
a register. You could create a command like this,
:command -range Copy redir @*|<line1>,<line2>nu|redir END
which will copy the specified range into the * register. Then, when
you want to copy-and-paste some code, highlight those lines as you
normally would, but then type the command, which will appear on the
command line like this:
:'<,'>Copy
For the filename, you can execute:
:let @*=@%
which will copy the filename into the * register. You could create
a command or mapping for that, too.
