I want to be able to:
:42y
then something like:
:13p
having it to paste the yanked line in a new line after 13, without taking my cursor away. So far, all solutions I have found involves going to the paste region, as calling
:13<ENTER>p
(or similar) - but then loosing the cursor position.
You can define your special version of "put" like this:
command! -bar -bang -range -register Put call append(<line2> - <bang>0, getreg(<q-reg>, 1, 1))
Now 13Pu works without any jumping around.
:h :command, :h append() and :h getreg(). Basically, it's a new command which takes parameters (almost) like a regular :put, but calls append() to do the job. Of course, you can also call append() directly, but neither :call append(13, getreg("", 1, 1)) nor :call append(13, split(@@, "\n")) look particularly good.
