Google says it's a GUI version of vim.              Hence gvim should act just like vim, ignoring possible mouse uses.              > Yes 'p' pastes a copied or cut region after the current line, or       > use 'P' to paste it before the current line.              Also worth mentioning seems to me to append numbers to these.              2yy              yanks (copies) 2 lines (after the cursor).              3PP              would insert 3 clipboard contents above the cursor position.              I often use              1000dd              to clear the whole document below the cursor, assuming it has no more       than 1000 lines.
