Vim tips and tricks

Cut and paste:

1. Position the cursor where you want to begin cutting.
2. Press v (or upper case V if you want to cut whole lines).
3. Move the cursor to the end of what you want to cut.
4. Press d.
5. Move to where you would like to paste.
6. Press P to paste before the cursor, or p to paste after.

Copy and paste can be performed with the same steps, only pressing y instead of d in step 4.
