如何在文件中多复制特定行数？

Question

I would like to copy n more number of lines in a file. At the moment, I am doing this indirectly: From current line x , I use V<x+n>ggy where <x+n> is substituted with the actual sum.

Is there a way to copy directly n more lines from current line?

Answer 1

You don't need to go into visual mode (the V ) for that. The normal mode yy command already takes a [count] , but that includes the current line. So for n more lines , you need to pass a [count] of n + 1. Example: Yank current and 2 more lines (total 3): 3yy .

If you don't want to do the arithmetic, you can also use the :yank Ex command. The range there is specified as you want: current ( . ) until current plus n ( .+n ). Example: :.,.+2yank

Based on your preference to visual mode, and using gg instead of G to move to a line, it appears as if you're still new to Vim. Learn how to look up commands and navigate the built-in :help ; it is comprehensive and offers many tips. You won't learn Vim as fast as other editors, but if you commit to continuous learning, it'll prove a very powerful and efficient editor.
