vip: Yank Commands

 
 2.9.2 Yank Commands
 -------------------
 
 Yank commands “yank” a text of buffer into a (usually anonymous)
 register.  Here the word “yank” is used in Vi’s sense.  Thus yank
 commands do not alter the content of the buffer, and useful only in
 combination with commands that put back the yanked text into the buffer.
 
 ‘y MOTION-COMMAND’
      Yank the region determined by the motion command MOTION-COMMAND.
 For example, ‘y $’ will yank the text between point and the end of line
 into an anonymous register, while ‘"c y $’ will yank the same text into
 register ‘c’.
 
    Use the following command to yank consecutive lines of text.
 
 ‘y y’
 ‘Y’
      Yank a line.  Given N, yank N lines (‘vip-yank-line’).
 ‘y r’
      Yank current region.
 ‘y R’
      Expand current region and yank it.
