UNCONDITIONAL PASTE
by Ingo Karkat
DESCRIPTION
If you're like me, you occasionally do a linewise yank, and then want to insert that yanked text in the middle of some other line (or vice versa). The mappings defined by this plugin will allow you to do a character-, line-, or block-wise paste no matter how you yanked the text, both from normal and insert mode.
Often, the register contents aren't quite in the form you need them. Maybe you need to convert yanked lines to comma-separated arguments, maybe join the lines with another separator, maybe the reverse: un-joining a single line on some pattern to yield multiple lines. Though you can do the manipulation after pasting, this plugin offers shortcut mappings for these actions, which are especially helpful when you need to repeat the paste multiple times.

SEE ALSO
- SubstituteExpression.vim (vimscript #5596) provides the same flexible expression application of g=p to the moved-over / selected text / lines instead of register contents.
RELATED WORKS
- whitespaste.vim (vimscript #4351) automatically removes blank lines around linewise contents, and condenses inner lines to a single one. By default, it remaps p / P, but this can be changed.
USAGE
["x]gcp, ["x]gcP Paste characterwise (inner newline characters and
indent are flattened to a single space, leading and
trailing removed) [count] times.
["x]gcip, ["x]gciP Paste inline (inner newline characters and indent are
kept, only leading and trailing removed) [count]
times.
["x]gcgp, ["x]gcgP Paste joined (like gJ); indent and surrounding
whitespace is kept as-is, [count] times.
["x]gCp, ["x]gCP Paste characterwise; any sequence of whitespace is
flattened to a single space, leading and trailing
indent removed, [count] times.
["x]glp, ["x]glP Paste linewise (even if yanked text is not a complete
line) [count] times.
["x]gbp, ["x]gbP Paste blockwise (inserting multiple lines in-place,
pushing existing text further to the right) [count]
times. If there's only a single line to paste and no
[count], first query about a separator pattern and
un-join the register contents.
["x]g]p, ["x]g[P or Paste linewise (even if yanked text is not a complete
["x]g]P or line) [count] times like glp, but adjust the indent
["x]g[p to the current line (like ]p).
["x]g]]p, ["x]g]]P Paste linewise below / above, with [count] more indent
than the current line.
["x]g[[p, ["x]g[[P Paste linewise below / above, with [count] less indent
than the current line.
["x]g>p, ["x]g>P Paste lines with [count] times 'shiftwidth' indent.
For characterwise and blockwise register contents,
paste at the beginning / end of the line(s) with the
indent before (g>p) / after (g>P) each line's
content. Multiple characterwise lines are flattened
into one as with gcp. The indent of blocks is based
on the current line's width; if subsequent lines are
longer, and additional indent is added there.
["x]g#p, ["x]g#P Paste linewise (even if yanked text is not a complete
line) as commented text [count] times. This applies
'commentstring' to each individual line, and adjusts
the indent (of the entire comment) to the current line
(like ]p).
This is useful when you want to paste indented text as
comments, but avoid the progressive auto-indenting
that would normally happen with i_CTRL-R.
["x]gsp, ["x]gsP Paste with [count] spaces (characterwise; blockwise:
around each line; linewise: flattened like gcp)
around the register contents. When pasting before the
start or after the end of the line, or with whitespace
around the current position, this is added only to the
"other" side, unless there's emptyness at both sides.
(Else, you could just use plain p|/|P.)
Note: To paste with <Tab> instead of spaces (at the
beginning or end), you can use g>P / g>p if you
use tab-indenting or gQP / gQp (with the default
separator) if 'expandtab' is set.
["x]gSp, ["x]gSP Paste linewise (like glp) with [count] empty lines
around the register contents. When pasting before the
start or after the end of the buffer, or with empty
lines around the current position, this is added only
to the "other" side, unless there's emptyness at both
sides. (Else, you could just use plain p|/|P.)
["x]gBp, ["x]gBP Paste as a minimal fitting (not rectangular) block
with a jagged right edge; i.e. the lines
"foobar\nhi\n" will be pasted as 6-character "foobar"
in the current line and 2-character "hi" in the
following one.
With [count], each line's content is pasted [count]
times.
When pasting with gBp at the end of the line,
appends at the jagged end of following lines.
When pasting with gBP on the first non-indent
character (after column 1) of a line, prepends after
existing indent of following lines.
If there's only a single line to paste and no [count],
first query about a separator pattern and un-join the
register contents.
["x]gqbp, ["x]gqbP Query for a separator string, then paste as a minimal
fitting (not rectangular) block (like gBp) with that
separator around each line (similar to gqp),
omitting the separator at the start and end of the
line or when there's already one at that side, like
with gsp.
With [count], each line's content is pasted [count]
times, with the separator between each.
When pasting with gqbp at the end of the line,
appends (with separator) at the jagged end of
following lines.
When pasting with gqbP on the first non-indent
character (after column 1) of a line, prepends (with
separator) after existing indent of following lines.
If there's only a single line to paste and no [count],
first query about a separator pattern and un-join the
register contents.
["x]gQBp, ["x]gQBP Paste blockwise with the previously queried (gqbp)
separator string (and separator pattern, if single
line). Defaults to <Tab> separator
g:UnconditionalPaste_Separator.
["x]g,p, ["x]g,P Paste characterwise, with each line delimited by ", "
instead of the newline (and indent).
["x]g,ap, ["x]g,aP Paste characterwise, with each line delimited by ", "
["x]g,op, ["x]g,oP and the last line delimited by ", and" / ", or" / ",
["x]g,np, ["x]g,nP nor" (and "neither" appended) instead of the newline
(and indent).
Cp. g:UnconditionalPaste_IsSerialComma for comma
placement in front of the conjunction.
["x]g,'p, ["x]g,'P Paste characterwise, with each line surrounded by
["x]g,"p, ["x]g,"P single / double quotes and delimited by ", " instead
of the newline (and indent).
["x]gqp, ["x]gqP Query for a separator string, then paste
characterwise, with each line delimited by it.
You can also additionally input a prefix (inserted
once before the paste) and suffix (once after the
paste) as {prefix}^M{separator}^M{suffix} (with ^M
entered as <C-V><Enter>). There's another alternative
form
{prefix}^M{element-prefix}^M{separator}^M{element-suffix}^M{suffix}
that lets you specify prefixes and suffixes for each
element.
Examples:
"^M, ^M" -> "foo, bar, baz"
"^M", "^M" -> "foo", "bar", "baz"
can also be written as:
^M"^M, ^M"^M -> "foo", "bar", "baz"
Functions:^M^M - ^M()^M! -> Functions:foo() - bar() - baz()!
<ul>\n^M <li>^M\n^M</li>^M\n</ul> -> <ul>
<li>foo</li>
<li>bar</li>
<li>baz</li>
</ul>
["x]gQp, ["x]gQP Paste characterwise, with each line delimited by the
previously queried (gqp) separator string.
Defaults to <Tab> separator
g:UnconditionalPaste_JoinSeparator.
["x]gqgp, ["x]gqgP Like gqp / gQp, but keep indent and surrounding
["x]gQgp, ["x]gQgP whitespace as-is; just join the lines with the
separator (and prefix / suffix).
["x]gujp, ["x]gujP Query for a separator pattern, un-join the register
contents, then paste linewise.
["x]gUJp, ["x]gUJP Un-join the register contents on the previously
queried (gujp) separator pattern, then paste
linewise. Defaults to separation by any whitespace and
newlines g:UnconditionalPaste_UnjoinSeparatorPattern.
["x]grp, ["x]grP Query for a pattern, and only paste those lines that
match the pattern.
["x]gr!p, ["x]gr!P Query for a pattern, and only paste those lines that
do NOT match the pattern.
If there's only a single line to paste and no [count],
first query about a separator pattern and un-join the
register contents. Re-join all matches with the first
match of the separator pattern and paste characterwise.
["x]gRp, ["x]gRP Only paste those lines that match the previously
queried pattern.
["x]gR!p, ["x]gR!P Only paste those lines that do NOT match the
previously queried pattern.
Both default to filter out whitespace-only lines
g:UnconditionalPaste_GrepPattern
g:UnconditionalPaste_InvertedGrepPattern.
If there's only a single line to paste and no [count],
un-join the register contents first like gUJp.
Re-join all matches with the first match of the
separator pattern and paste characterwise.
["x]g=p, ["x]g=P Query for an expression, and apply it to the register
contents. The expression can be:
- a Vimscript expression; v:val will contain the
register contents.
- a function name (without parentheses); the function
will be passed the register contents as a single
String argument.
- If the expression begins with '!', it will be
treated as an external command, and passed to the
system() function, with the register contents as
stdin. (To use an expression beginning with logical
not (expr-!), include a space before the '!'
character.)
- If the expression begins with ':', the register
contents will be placed in a scratch buffer (of the
same 'filetype'), and the Ex command(s) will be
applied.
- If the expression begins with /{pattern}/, each
match (of the last search pattern if empty) inside
the register contents is individually passed through
the following expression / function name / external
command / Ex command, then re-joined with the
separating non-matches in between.
When an expression returns a List, all elements are
joined with the first occurring separator in the
register contents.
- If the expression begins with ^{pattern}^, the
register contents are split on {pattern} (last
search pattern if empty), and each item is
individually passed through the following expression
/ function name / external command / Ex command,
then re-joined with the separators in between.
When an expression returns a List, all elements are
joined with the first separator match of {pattern} in
the register contents.
- If the expression begins with ".", each individual
line (characterwise content can be multiplied into
lines via [count]) is passed through the following
expression / function name / external command / Ex
command. separators in between.
To omit a line through an expression, return an empty
List ([]). To expand a line into several, return a
List of lines.
["x]g==p, ["x]g==P Apply the previously queried expression to each line
(replacing v:val with the current line), and paste the
resulting lines.
["x]g\p, ["x]g\P Escape certain characters (global default /
overridable per buffer g:UnconditionalPaste_Escapes;
if none or multiple are configured query first, or
take [count] to choose among multiples) and paste.
["x]g\\p, ["x]g\\P Escape the same characters as the last time and paste.
["x]gpp, ["x]gpP Paste with the first decimal number found on or after
the current cursor column (or the overall first
number, if no such match, or the last number, if the
cursor is at the end of the line) incremented /
decremented by 1.
Do this [count] times, with each paste further
incremented / decremented.
["x]gPp, ["x]gPP Paste with all decimal numbers incremented /
decremented by 1.
Do this [count] times, with each paste further
incremented / decremented.
["x]gup, ["x]guP Paste with the first alphabetical character of the
first / [count] word(s) made lowercase.
["x]gUp, ["x]gUP Paste with the first alphabetical character of the
first / [count] word(s) made uppercase.
["x]g~p, ["x]g~P Paste with the first alphabetical character of the
first / [count] word(s) toggled in case.
["x]ghp, ["x]ghP Paste with a queried combination of above mappings.
The algorithm is the 1 or 2-character string between
the g..p / g..P in the mappings. A [count] before
ghp applies to each algorithm, you can override /
supply a local [count], too.
EXAMPLES *
- Uppercase a word and paste linewise:
ghpUc<Enter>
- Unjoin words and paste as quoted list:
ghpuj,"<Enter><Space><Enter>
- Paste line 3 times and indent:
ghp>3l<Enter>
Note: Not all combinations make sense or work
correctly.
["x]gHp, ["x]gHP Paste with the previously queried combination of above
mappings again. Defaults to linewise indented paste
with empty lines around (gSp + g>p)
g:UnconditionalPaste_Combinations.
CTRL-R CTRL-C {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}
Insert the contents of a register characterwise
(newline characters and indent are flattened to
spaces).
If you have options like 'textwidth', 'formatoptions',
or 'autoindent' set, this will influence what will be
inserted.
Note: If the command-line mapping aborts
the command line, try defining
:cnoremap <C-c> <C-c>
or redefine the mapping.
CTRL-R CTRL-I {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}
Insert the contents of a register inline (inner
newline characters and indent are kept, only leading
and trailing removed).
CTRL-R CTRL-C CTRL-C {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}
Insert the contents of a register characterwise; any
sequence of whitespace is flattened to a single space,
leading and trailing indent removed.
CTRL-R , {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}
Insert the contents of a register characterwise, with
each line delimited by ", " instead of the newline
(and indent).
CTRL-R CTRL-Q {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}

of a register characterwise, with each line delimited
by it. Like gqp, but in insert mode.
CTRL-R CTRL-Q CTRL-Q {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}
Insert the contents of a register characterwise, with
each line delimited by the previously queried (gqp,
i_CTRL-R_CTRL-Q) separator string.
CTRL-R CTRL-Q CTRL-G {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}
CTRL-R CTRL-Q CTRL-Q CTRL-G CTRL-G {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}
Like CTRL-R CTRL-Q / CTRL-R CTRL-Q CTRL-Q, but keep
indent and surrounding whitespace as-is; just join the
lines with the separator (and prefix / suffix).
CTRL-R CTRL-U {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}
Query for a separator pattern, un-join the contents of
a register, then insert it linewise.
CTRL-R CTRL-U CTRL-U {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}

Like g~p / g~p, but in insert mode.
CTRL-R CTRL-H {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}
Query for a combination of UnconditionalPaste
mappings, apply those to the contents of the register,
and insert the result.
CTRL-R CTRL-H CTRL-H {0-9a-z"%#*+/:.-}
Apply the last queried combination of
UnconditionalPaste mappings to the contents of the
register again, and insert the result.
INSTALLATION
The code is hosted in a Git repo at https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-UnconditionalPaste You can use your favorite plugin manager, or "git clone" into a directory used for Vim packages. Releases are on the "stable" branch, the latest unstable development snapshot on "master".
This script is also packaged as a vimball. If you have the "gunzip" decompressor in your PATH, simply edit the *.vmb.gz package in Vim; otherwise, decompress the archive first, e.g. using WinZip. Inside Vim, install by sourcing the vimball or via the :UseVimball command.
vim UnconditionalPaste*.vmb.gz
:so %
To uninstall, use the :RmVimball command.
DEPENDENCIES
- Requires Vim 7.0 or higher.
- Requires the ingo-library.vim plugin (vimscript #4433), version 1.044 or higher.
- repeat.vim (vimscript #2136) plugin (optional)
- AlignFromCursor.vim plugin (vimscript #4155), version 2.02 or higher (optional).
CONFIGURATION
For a permanent configuration, put the following commands into your vimrc:
The default separator string for the gQBp mapping is a <Tab> character; to preset another one (it will be overridden by gqbp), use:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_Separator = 'text'
The default separator string for the gQp and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-Q_CTRL-Q mappings is a <Tab> character; to preset another one (it will be overridden by gqp and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-Q), use:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_JoinSeparator = 'text'
The default separator pattern for the gUJp and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-U_CTRL-U mappings matches any whitespace and newlines (i.e. it will get rid of empty lines); to preset another one (it will be overridden by gujp and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-U), use:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_UnjoinSeparatorPattern = '-'
The default pattern for the gRp and gR!p mappings filter out whitespace-only lines; to preset another one (will be overridden by grp / gr!p), use:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_GrepPattern = 'pattern'
let g:UnconditionalPaste_InvertedGrepPattern = 'pattern'
The g>p / g>P mappings uses the AlignFromCursor.vim plugin's functionality (if installed) to only affect the whitespace between the original text and the pasted line. If you want to always :retab! all the whitespace in the entire line, disable this via:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_IsFullLineRetabOnShift = 1
By default, the g,ap, g,op, and g,np mappings use a comma immediately before the coordinating conjunction (also known as "Oxford comma"; unless exactly two lines are pasted); to turn this off:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_IsSerialComma = 0
By default, the gsp mapping does not insert a space on a side that already has whitespace. You can make other separators (e.g. quotes) be considered as existing space by tweaking the regular expression in :
let g:UnconditionalPaste_EmptySeparatorPattern = '\s'
For some cases (like avoiding a space when pasting inside a {...}) it matters whether the separator is before or after the paste. Instead of a single pattern, you can pass a List of two patterns there; the first one applies to separators before the paste (so it could match a { if you don't want a space when pasting after it, but you do want a space when pasting before it), the second applies to separators after the paste:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_EmptySeparatorPattern = ['[[:space:]{]', '[[:space:]}]']
By default, the gSp mapping does not add an empty line on a side that already just consists of whitespace. You can make other lines be considered empty by tweaking the regular expression:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_EmptyLinePattern = '^\s*$'
For some cases (like avoiding an empty line when pasting inside a { ... } block) it matters whether the line is above or below the paste. Instead of a single pattern, you can pass a List of two patterns there; the first one applies to lines above the paste (so it could match a { if you don't want an empty line when pasting after it, but you do want an empty line when pasting before it), the second applies to lines below the paste:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_EmptyLinePattern = ['^\s*{\?$', '^\s*}\?$']
By default, the g\p and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-\ mappings escape backslashes. You can change that (e.g. to also escape double quotes), or add more variants:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_Escapes = [{
\ 'name': 'dquote',
\ 'pattern': '[\"]',
\ 'replacement': '\\&'
\}, ...]
Each configuration object attributes is optional; alternatively, you can also specify an expression (using v:val), or a Funcref that takes and returns a String:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_Escapes = [
\ {'Replacer': 'tr(v:val, "o", "X")'},
\ {'Replacer': function('MyReplacer')},
\...]
The buffer-local b:UnconditionalPaste_Escapes overrides that for particular buffers (filetypes if placed in a ftplugin).
This stores the last replacement used for g\\p and i_CTRL_R_CTRL-\. It is initialized with the first escape from the above configuration / entered / selected escape.
The default combination used for the gHp and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-H_CTRL-H mappings. Must be a List of 1 or 2-character strings between the g..p / g..P in the mappings; best obtained by selecting the desired algorithms via ghp once and then grabbing the variable value:
let g:UnconditionalPaste_Combinations = ['U', ',"', 's']
If you want no or only a few of the available mappings, you can completely turn off the creation of the default mappings by defining:
:let g:UnconditionalPaste_no_mappings = 1
This saves you from mapping dummy keys to all unwanted mapping targets.
If you want to use different mappings (e.g. starting with <Leader>), map your keys to the <Plug>UnconditionalPaste... mapping targets before sourcing this script (e.g. in your vimrc):

HISTORY
4.40 RELEASEME
- CHG: g=p and g==p apply the expression to the whole register contents, not to individual lines. Instead, the expression can now be applied individually to matches of prepended /{pattern}/, or to items separated by ^{pattern}^, or via prepended "." to individual lines. So, to keep the previous behavior, just put a "." before the expression. Because of that change, single lines are not unjoined by a queried pattern any longer; ^{pattern}^ can be used.
- ENH; g=p and g==p support specifying a function name ("toupper" instead of "toupper(v:val)"), and filtering through external command or Ex command (in a scratch buffer). This achieves feature parity and consistency with.SubstituteExpression.vim's g={motion} and g== mappings.
- BUG: ghp with p/P selected does not increment the last-used value on repeat.
You need to update to ingo-library (vimscript #4433) version 1.044!
4.30 05-Sep-2020
- ENH: Add gHp mapping for repeating the same previously queried combination and a configurable preset g:UnconditionalPaste_Combinations.
- ENH: Add i_CTRL-R_CTRL-H / c_CTRL-R_CTRL-H mappings for ghp and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-H_CTRL-H / c_CTRL-R_CTRL-H_CTRL-H for gHp. As only some paste variants are offered in insert and command-line modes, these allow to use any (working) variant there, too, and any combinations of them.
- BUG: Empty line check in gSp does not account for a closed fold under cursor and wrongly considers the current line within the fold instead of the first / last folded line.
- ENH: Allow to disable all default mappings via a single g:UnconditionalPaste_no_mappings configuration flag.
- ENH: Add gCp and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-C_CTRL-C variants of gcp and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-C that flatten any sequence of whitespace to a single space; so not just indent, but also inner runs of whitespace.
- ENH: Add gcip and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-I variants of gcp and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-C that just paste inline (so linewise and blockwise register contents are not put on separate lines, but start at the cursor position), but keep inner newlines and their indent (so not all is flattened into a single line).
- ENH: gsp lets users tweak which sides do not get a space inserted via g:UnconditionalPaste_EmptySeparatorPattern.
- ENH: gSp also considers whitespace-only lines as empty (not just totally empty ones) by default, and lets users tweak that via g:UnconditionalPaste_EmptyLinePattern.
- BUG: gSP / gSp on completely empty buffer does not add both leading and trailing empty lines.
- BUG: gSP / gSp on single line in buffer do not consider start / end of buffer.
4.20 24-Jan-2018
- Add JustJoined (gcgp) and QueriedJoined (gqgp, <C-q><C-g>) variants of gcp and gqp that keep indent and surrounding whitespace as-is.
- CHG: Insert and command-line mode <Plug> mappings now have a trailing I, to resolve the ambiguity between <Plug>UnconditionalPasteQueried and <Plug>UnconditionalPasteQueriedJoined. !!!* Please update any insert- and command-line mode mapping customization. !!!*
- Add CommaAnd (g,ap), CommaOr (g,op), and CommaNor (g,np) variants of g,p.
- Add Escape (g\p, i_CTRL-R_CTRL-\) and RecallEscape (g\\p, i_CTRL-R_CTRL-\_CTRL-\) mappings to perform escaping of certain characters before pasting / inserting.
4.10 23-Dec-2016
- Add grp / gr!p / gRp / gR!p mappings that include / exclude lines matching queried / recalled pattern, defaulting (both variants) to include only non-empty lines.
- Add g=p / g==p mappings that process lines through a queried / recalled Vim expression.
- ENH: In ghp query, offer help on the mnemonics by pressing ?.
- ENH: Make gqp also support 5-element {prefix}^M{element-prefix}^M{separator}^M{element-suffix}^M{suffix} in addition to the 3-element one.
You need to update to ingo-library (vimscript #4433) version 1.026!
4.00 09-Aug-2016
- Establish hard dependency on ingo-library.
You need to separately install ingo-library (vimscript #4433) version 1.024 (or higher)!
- BUG: Escaped characters like \n are handled inconsistently in gqp: resolved as {separator}, taken literally in {prefix} and {suffix}. Use ingo#cmdargs#GetUnescapedExpr() to resolve them (also for gqbp, which only supports {separator}).
- ENH: If there's only a single line to paste and no [count] with the blockwise commands (gbp, gBp, gqbq, gQBp), first query about a separator pattern and un-join the register contents. Otherwise, these variants don't make much sense (and for the corner cases, a count of 1 can be supplied).
- CHG: Split off gSp from gsp; the latter now flattens line(s) like gcp, whereas the new gSp forces linewise surrounding with empty lines. I found that I often dd a line in order to append it to another line with a space in between.
- CHG: Change gup / gUp to gujp / gUJp and add gup / gUp to lower / uppercase the first character of the register
- Need to use temporary default register also for the built-in read-only registers {:%.}.
- FIX: Vim error on CTRL-R ... mappings incorrectly inserted "0". Need to return '' from :catch.
- Add ghp / ghP combinatorial type that queries and then sequentially applies multiple algorithms.
3.10 23-Dec-2014
- Add g,'p and g,"p variants of g,p.
- ENH: Allow to specify prefix and suffix when querying for the separator string in gqp and i_CTRL-R_CTRL-Q.
3.03 03-Dec-2014
- BUG: gsp / gsP border check adds spaces on both sides when there's a single character in line (like when there's a completely empty line, where this would be correct). Differentiate between empty and single-char line and then clear the isAtStart / isAtEnd flag not in the direction of the paste.
3.02 19-Jun-2014
- CHG: Change default mappings of gdp and gDp to gqbp and gQBp, respectively, to avoid slowing down the built-in gd and gD commands with a wait for the mapping timeout. Though the new defaults are one keystroke longer, they are a better mnemonic (combining gqp and gBp), and this is a rather obscure mapping, anyway.
3.01 23-May-2014
- For gsp, remove surrounding whitespace (characterwise) / empty lines (linewise) before adding the spaces / empty lines. This ensures a more dependable and deterministic DWIM behavior.
3.00 24-Mar-2014
- ENH: Extend CTRL-R insert mode mappings to command-line mode.
- When doing gqp / q,p of a characterwise or single line, put the separator in front (gqp) / after (gqP); otherwise, the mapping is identical to normal p / P and therefore worthless.
- Add g#p mapping to apply 'commentstring' to each indented linewise paste.
- Add gsp mapping to paste with [count] spaces / empty lines around the register contents.
- Add gdp / gDp mappings to paste as a minimal fitting block with (queried / recalled) separator string, with special cases at the end of leading indent and at the end of the line.
- Add gBp mapping to paste as a minimal fitting block with jagged right edge, a separator-less variant of gDp.
- Add g>p mapping to paste shifted register contents.
- Add g]]p and g[[p mappings to paste like with g]p, but with more / less indent.
2.21 23-Apr-2013
- FIX: In gpp and gPp, keep leading zeros when incrementing the number.
- FIX: In gpp and gPp, do not interpret leading zeros as octal numbers when incrementing.
2.20 18-Mar-2013
- ENH: gpp also handles multi-line pastes. A number (after the corresponding column) is incremented in every line. If there are no increments this way, fall back to replacement of the first occurrence.
- ENH: Add gPp / gPP mappings to paste with all numbers incremented / decremented.
- ENH: Add g]p / g]P mappings to paste linewise with adjusted indent. Thanks to Gary Fixler for the suggestion.
2.10 22-Dec-2012
- ENH: Add gpp / gpP mappings to paste with one number (which depending on the current cursor position) incremented / decremented.
- FIX: For characterwise pastes with a [count], the multiplied pastes must be joined with the desired separator, not just plainly concatenated.
- FIX: Don't lose the original [count] given when repeating the mapping.
- FIX: Do not re-query on repeat of the mapping.
2.00 05-Dec-2012
- ENH: Add g,p / gqp / gQp mappings to paste lines flattened with comma, queried, or recalled last used delimiter.
- ENH: Add gup / gUp mappings to paste unjoined register with queried or recalled last used delimiter pattern.
- ENH: Add CTRL-R CTRL-C mapping to insert register contents characterwise (flattened) from insert mode, and similar insert mode mappings for the other new mappings.
- CHG: Flatten all whitespace and newlines before, after, and around lines when pasting characterwise or joined.
1.22 04-Dec-2012
- BUG: When repeat.vim is not installed, the mappings do nothing. Need to :execute the :silent! call of repeat.vim to avoid that the remainder of the command line is aborted together with the call.
- Using separate autoload script to help speed up Vim startup.
1.21 02-Dec-2011
- ENH: When pasting a blockwise register as lines, strip all trailing whitespace. This is useful when cutting a block of text from a column-like text and pasting as new lines.
- ENH: When pasting a blockwise register as characters, flatten and shrink all trailing whitespace to a single space.
1.20 30-Sep-2011
- BUG: Repeat always used the unnamed register. Add register registration to enhanced repeat.vim plugin. This also handles repetition when used together with the expression register "=. Requires a so far inofficial update to repeat.vim version 1.0 (that hopefully makes it into upstream), which is available at https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-repeat/zipball/1.0ENH1
1.11 06-Jun-2011
- ENH: Support repetition of mappings through repeat.vim.
1.10 12-Jan-2011
- Incorporated suggestions by Peter Rincker (thanks for the patch!):
- Made mappings configurable via the customary <Plug> mappings.
- Added mappings gbp, gbP for blockwise pasting.
- Now requires Vim version 7.0 or higher.
1.00 10-Dec-2010
- Published, prompted by a related question on reddit.
0.01 10-Apr-2006
- Started development, based on vimtip #1199 by cory.
