Posting it just to remind me…
If you ever need to cut/copy/delete/paste lines without knowing the actual number of lines, here is what you should do.
- In normal mode, go to the beginning of the section that you want to yank.
- Type
mk
to mark this spot ask
. - Go to the end of the section you want to yank using whatever movement commands you like.
- Type:
y'k
(<y-yank>, <single quote-go to mark>, k) To yank from the mark to the current location. - You can paste those lines wherever you want with
p
Similarly, d'k
will cut/delete the lines from the current location to the mark.
