+a couple of nifty tricks to help you copy-paste better:
+
+1. reselecting previously selected text (i use this to fix botched selections):
+
+    ```
+    gv  " :h gv for more
+        " you can use `o` in visual mode to go to the `Other` end of the selection
+        " use a motion to fix the selection
+    ```
+
+2. reselecting previously yanked text:
+
+    ```
+    `[v`]
+    `[         " marks the beginning of the previously yanked text   :h `[
+    `]         " marks the end                                       :h `]
+     v         " visual select everything in between
+
+    nnoremap gb `[v`]    " "a quick map to perform the above
+    ```
+
+3. pasting and indenting text (in one go):
+
+    ```
+    ]p   " put (p) and adjust indent to current line
+    ]P   " put the text before the cursor (P) and adjust indent to current line
+    ```
