I know how to use the v
command in vim, but I need something which will delete an entire line and it should allow me to paste the same line somewhere else.
dd
in command mode (after pressing escape) will cut the line, p
in command mode will paste.
Update:
For a bonus, d
and then a movement will cut the equivalent of that movement, so dw
will cut a word, d<down-arrow>
will cut this line and the line below, d50w
will cut 50 words.
yy
is copy line, and works like dd
.
D
cuts from cursor to end of line.
If you've used v
(visual mode), you should try V
(visual line mode) and <ctrl>v
(visual block mode).
