Re: save only duplicate lines

What I would like is something like ":sort iu"
but the opposite, to keep only one copy of the duplicate lines.

" -------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6----
This seems to work, but is not elegant:

" clear the a register
qaq

" search and copy all duplicate lines
:g/\(^.\+\n\)\1/y A

" open a new buffer, paste contents of register a
"aP

" sort removing duplicate lines
:sort iu

" -------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6----
