Hi,

You can also paste from a register in the insert mode, see ":help i^r".
For example CTRL-R0 in insert mode will paste the recent yank. There is
also ":help i^r^r" (e.g. CTRL-R_CTRL-R) which puts the content of the
register literally. This will differ from ^r if there is a backspace in
the register: using ^r will delete like backspace does, ^r^r will put
the backspace literally into the buffer.

Best regards,
Marcin
