(bound to paste .
)paste [registers [dest_reg]]
Write the (concatenated) contents of the specified registers to the stdin
queue of the current window. The register '.' is treated as the paste
buffer. If no parameter is given the user is prompted for a single
register to paste. The paste buffer can be filled with the
copy
, history
and
readbuf
commands. Other registers can be filled with the
register
, readreg
and paste
commands. If paste
is called with a second argument, the contents of
the specified registers are pasted into the named destination register
rather than the window. If '.' is used as the second argument, the
display's paste buffer is the destination. Note that paste
uses a
wide variety of resources: Whenever a second argument is specified no
current window is needed. When the source specification only contains
registers (not the paste buffer) then there need not be a current display
(terminal attached), as the registers are a global resource. The paste
buffer exists once for every user.
