I like to take minutes for meetings using vim+Markdown(CommonMark)
I like having something like this
# Meeting Name - 2018-02-25
The way I accomplish this is
i# Meeting Name - ^[:put =strftime('%F')<cr>kJ
Is there a better way? I know you can do :-1put ... and it will put things on the previous line, but is there a way to :put at the end of the line? (obviously I could make a macro/map, but is there a better way with just put?)
Why stick to put?
There is a nice alternative to it, like :
i#Meeting Name - ^R=strftime("%F")<cr>
btw: Your example seems to be missing a <cr> after the )
:h i_CTRL-R and specifically :h i_CTRL-R_=
^r - and @statox thanks for linking to that docs, because that's way more useful than I imagined! There are a number of times that I've done <yank something>itype some things <esc>pAtype some more things.
