Get Better At Yanking And Putting In Vim
</h1>
<div class="post-text">
<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 " :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</code></pre></li>
<li><p>reselecting previously yanked text:</p>
<pre><code>`[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</code></pre></li>
<li><p>pasting and indenting text (in one go):</p>
<pre><code>]p " put (p) and adjust indent to current line
]P " put the text before the cursor (P) and adjust indent to current line</code></pre></li>
</ol>
