I use vi/vim for quick/light editing. But I don't understand how others
use it as their main editor. And I don't say this lightly: I even
bought a book on using vi/vim. Yet I still often hear how "wonderous"
it is if one does.

So tell me this, how does one copy and paste without counting lines?
Using n+yy & p (where n is some number) for a few lines is okay, but
beyond that...

Thanks
