            <p>a couple of nifty tricks to help you copy-paste better:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>reselecting previously selected text (i use this to fix botched selections):</p>
<pre><code>gv  &quot; :h gv for more
    &quot; you can use `o` in visual mode to go to the `Other` end of the selection
    &quot; use a motion to fix the selection</code></pre></li>
<li><p>reselecting previously yanked text:</p>
<pre><code>`[v`]
`[         &quot; marks the beginning of the previously yanked text   :h `[
`]         &quot; marks the end                                       :h `]
 v         &quot; visual select everything in between

nnoremap gb `[v`]    &quot; &quot;a quick map to perform the above</code></pre></li>
<li><p>pasting and indenting text (in one go):</p>
<pre><code>]p   &quot; put (p) and adjust indent to current line
]P   &quot; put the text before the cursor (P) and adjust indent to current line</code></pre></li>
