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.

  • It worked like a charm, because it IS a charm. Would you please expand on what this is doing? – fde-capu Dec 12 '19 at 18:03
  • @fde-capu Read :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. – Matt Dec 12 '19 at 18:34
