I use that 'simply' form, and vim tells me many times that it yanked x number of lines.

:silent g/TODO/y U 2

 

Adding 'silent' will suppress those notices.

Thanks everyone.

My next question was going to be how I do this if I start with

let @u= ""

:redir @U

but I figured this one, I just have to do

 

:g/TODO/.,+2print
