${BASE}/test/ other_consecutive_none_empty_characters
If the cursor is under the $ sign ,how can I copy “${BASE}/test/” as a whole and paste it
somewhere else in vim ? I don’t want to use the human-eye-letters-counting solution if that is the only solution I’d rather like to hit the keyboard charcter by charcter .
yE would be the most correct solution. y means “yank” (i.e. copy to buffer), and E – “up to the end of the WORD”, which is, up to the next whitespace character.
Personally, I prefer typing yiW – yank inner WORD. It works the same way, but the cursor may reside anywhere inside the WORD, not just on the dollar sign.
