Relatively new to vim. I know there are other ways to do this specific task such as search/replace but I want to understand how to repeatedly paste some text but also overwrite a certain character, in the case I want to do it manually. This has brought me to need to understand if there is a sort of clipboard/yank history.
For example, I have yanked this text:
.truncate(
I want to replace the comma ',' in the lines below with my yanked text in each line:
word,12)
word2,12)
word3,12)
So what I do is move in regular mode to the first comma and press 'x' to remove the comma, and then press 'p'... however instead of getting my yanked text, I get the text now under the cursor, in this case '1'. So how do I handle a yank > delete > put operation, and multiple times?
