Vi Copy-paste without navigating to the line
vi, vim
Solution
there is `:t` you can use.
for example if you are on line #77, and you want to copy line#7 below your current line, that is, #78, you just:
:7t.
after executing this, your cursor will be on line#78, the newly "pasted" line.
read `:h :t` for details, you may want to know the powerful `:h range` as well.
another advantage of `:t` instead of `y/Y` is, you keep `"` register untouched.
Problem
Is it possible for me to say the copy the contents at a specific line (x) and paste in the current line without actually needing to go to x. Right now, I need to type `:x<Enter>yy<C-o>p`. I just wanted to see if this can be done more efficiently.
