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.
Where it may not help in this particular example, you may be interested in a general Copy/delete/paste strategy for Vim.
If that is the case, you may want to look into my YankRing plugin:

Besides the description on the website, it comes with a full tutorial to take you through the various features, to give you an idea of how to use it.
HTH,
