Copy multiple times before pasting all of the contents in vim

In vim, would there be a way to copy multiple times, accumulate each of them into the clipboard, and then later paste all of them at once where each contents are separated by newline?

Solution

  • Use uppercase registers to append. For example, let's clear and yank a line to register "a, append a line, append another line, then paste:

    "ayy
"Ayy
"Ayy
"ap

    Flag > in cpoptions inserts a line break before the appended text.
