Cut and paste multiple lines in vim

Question

I\'m running vim 7.3 on a Mac 10.7.2 and I\'m having some trouble cutting and pasting several lines.

On my old Linux setup (which was stolen so I don\'t know versions)

Answer 1

Not sure if this is close enough to what you're trying, but one thing you could do is use a specific register, and capitalize your register name. That tells vim to append to the register rather than replace it, so if you have the lines:

one
two
three

you can enter

"qdd
"Qdd
"Qdd

and then subsequently if you enter

"qp

it will paste back the original lines
