Just :nnoremap Y ly then. At that point you can enter b or whatever leftward movement you want and the proper text is yanked including the character the cursor had been over. That's what u want, right? (If it's not right I'll let the next person handle this one...lol)

The p key puts. It doesn't copy/yank...but the title says "copy after the cursor". It's a bit confusing. I suggest you adopt the Vim lingo for the sake of accuracy. So you want to put with Y, I guess.

| Nov 19, 2020 at 23:04 | comment | added | Lucas Martins Soares | @BLayer not really. this will copy the rest of the line. I would like to copy from the current cursor position, not the previous one. I will improve my question. | |
