I have a mapping that will paste a newline plus the contents of the specified register (or the unnamed register by default) func! MyPaste() exec "pu " . v:register endfunc nn <leader>p :<C-U>call MyPaste() This seems petty - it's the difference between 5 keystrokes and 2, but I use it about 30 times a day. Can I ask what the <C-U> does? I tried the code w/o the <C-U> and I can't see a difference in the functionality.
