#PUTTY PASTE YANKED LINES HOW TO#
With reference to the earlier post asking how to paste an inner block With VimTip588 one can sort lines or blocks based on visual-block selection. Hunt down your system vimrc and remove sourcing thereof if you don't like that behavior (or substitute in its place, see VimTip63.
#PUTTY PASTE YANKED LINES WINDOWS#
Result: more Windows like behavior (ctrl-v is "paste", instead of visual-block selection).
On Windows the script seems to be getting sourced for many users. Pressing twice replaces all the text of the original selection. You can replace a set of text in a visual block very easily by selecting a block, press c and then make changes to the first line. (Or in the latter case, try with i_CTRL-R_CTRL-O.) If you're still eager to use the mouse-juggling middle-mouse trick of common unix copy-n-paste, or are into bending space and time with i_CTRL-R, consider checking out ':set paste' and ':set pastetoggle'.It's really worth it to check out the register functionality in Vim: ':help registers'.Press 'gv' in Normal mode to restore your previous selection.(After this, the previously selected text will be yanked.) If you have some yanked text, pressing 'p' or 'P' while in Visual mode will replace the selected text with the already yanked text.In Visual Block mode, you can also press 'O', allowing you to position the cursor in any of the four corners. While in (any of the three) Visual mode(s), pressing 'o' will move the cursor to the opposite end of the selection.I have some more points I'd like to add to this tip: I feel lost without it in any other editor. This also works in across Vim applications on Windows systems (clipboard is inserted) Using a mouse, you can insert it at another position by clicking the middle mouse button. If you just want to copy (yank) the visually marked text, you do not need to 'y'ank it. You hold down Shift only to type the uppercase V. To visually select multiple lines, you type V, then press j (or cursor down). I have struck out the above new comment because I think it is talking about something that may apply to those who have used :behave mswin. For example, to copy three lines, press V, then hold down the Shift key while pressing the down arrow key twice. NOTE: after selecting the visual copy mode, you can hold the shift key while selection the region to get a multiple line copy. It will not work after visually selecting an area and leaving visual mode without taking any actions.
Note that this will only work if you actually did something to the previous visual selection, such as a yank, delete, or change operation. When a count is used before v, V, or ^V (character, line or block selection), an area equal to the previous area, multiplied by the count, is selected. To do this, move to the target location then press 1vp ( 1v selects an area equal to the original, and p pastes over it). Instead of inserting the block, it is also possible to replace (paste over) the destination. The paste inserts a block (which might, for example, be 4 rows by 3 columns of text).
Now you can move elsewhere and press p to paste the text after the cursor (or P to paste before). You can copy a block of text by pressing Ctrl-v (or Ctrl-q if you use Ctrl-v for paste), then moving the cursor to select, and pressing y to yank. In a visual selection, pressing c performs a change by deleting the selected text and entering insert mode so you can type the new text.
If you want to change the selected text, press c instead of d or y in step 4. Visual selection (steps 1-3) can be performed using a mouse.
