The usual way I use is    :put It's linewise, but there are some stunts (coming to mind: abusing :substitute and control+r to pull in content from various registers) It also takes a register, so if you want the system clipboard, you can do    :put * -tim

No, there isn't. But in your example, you know the number of lines you want to get in your range, so you can type     3: to get     :.,.+2 In general: !2j  has the form {operator}{motion}     :h operator You can create a custom operator (and name it e.g. "g:") with     :h g@ Once it has been done here (from Jan 2008, see the whole discussion) http://groups.google.com/group/vim_dev/msg/c6fb56645c188244 The details are somewhat tricky (if this reads better than ugly ...).
