I tend to use

:t.

to copy the current line to the line below it without messing up my
scratch register. You can specify other destinations if you prefer:

:t$ " copy this line to the end of the file
:t0 " copy this line to the beginning of the file
:t+3 " copy this line to 3 lines below
:t/pattern/ " copy this line after the next line containing "pattern"
:t/pattern/-3 " copy to 3 lines before the next match of "pattern"

-tim
