Question

In vim, when I press p, text was pasted to after the cursor? How can I change this to paste the text before the cursor?

My problem comes from this situation: there are hundreds of lines propositions in a text file. I have to check manually if they are right. If a certain line is right, I should put a mark * before that line, so I hope I can paste text before the cursor.

Answer 1

P

Note that P is capitalized.

Typing :help p gives more info about both p and P.
