2.9.3 Put Back Commands
Deleted or yanked texts can be put back into the buffer by the
command below.
- p
-
Insert, after the character point is looking at, most
recently deleted/yanked text from anonymous register. Given a
register name argument, the content of the named register will
be put back. Given a count, the command will be repeated that
many times. This command also checks if the text to put back
ends with a new line character, and if so the text will be put
below the current line (
vip-put-back).
- P
-
Insert at point most recently deleted/yanked text from
anonymous register. Given a register name argument, the content
of the named register will be put back. Given a count, the
command will be repeated that many times. This command also
checks if the text to put back ends with a new line character,
and if so the text will be put above the current line rather
than at point (
vip-Put-back).
Thus, " c p will put
back the content of the register c into the buffer. It
is also possible to specify number register which is a
numeral between 1 and 9. If the number
register n is specified, n-th previously
deleted/yanked text will be put back. It is an error to specify a
number register for the delete/yank commands.
