VI

To yank/delete into a named buffer, prefix the command with “l where l is the letter of the buffer e.g.

"dyy

And to paste from the buffer do the same e.g.

"dp

A common problem when pasting into Vi from a shell is that it seems to indent already indented code. If you run the following before pasting

:set paste

and after

:set nopaste

then this problem will be solved.
