If you've been *yanking*, you'll want the :copy (also known as :t) command, too. :-) Behaves pretty much identically, except it copies rather than moves the line (which you'd get by *deleting*-then-putting). I've got my fingers hard-wired with :m+ to move the current line down one, which I use because yanking/deleting tromps my scratch register when it's often useful to preserve it when your intent is just "move this line down one". The :t and :m commands are also helpful for gathering lines in a :g command such as :g/pattern/t$ :g/pattern/m$ which will either copy the lines to the bottom of the file for review, or move the lines to the bottom of the file for reviewing/ignoring purposes. I use both regularly, especially when dealing with CSV files. -tim -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
