Well, if you dd+p you paste it back again, and then it’s in the clipboard so you can p it in other places. In any case you can u(ndo) it without issues.
yy to copy, dd to cut, p to paste. Need to move 5 lines at once? No problem, move to the first line and use d5d, and p to paste it. Vim gets a bad rap for being confusing, but it’s so fast to move text around once you get the hang of it.
Absolutely. It also has whole-line cut/uncut which is a godsend when working with config files
Ironically, that’s like the one thing I’ve learned to do in Vim.
Because it’s easy, dd to delete a line and p to paste it somewhere else.
Personally I’d be somewhat nervous using
ddto edit parts of a text file, but you do you :)Well, if you dd+p you paste it back again, and then it’s in the clipboard so you can p it in other places. In any case you can u(ndo) it without issues.
