    :yy (to copy a single line)
    :dd (to cut a single line)
    :#yy (to copy # lines)
    :#dd (to cut # lines)
    :p (to paste whatever is on the clipboard AFTER the current line)

    @vanhoosr
    Shift+v
    And then you can use yy, dd or whatever

    @demiko you could always use the editor of your choice and then throw in a vim plugin. I used to use vim exclusively but at some point switched to atom+vim and I love it, it's like the best of both worlds

    Ease yourself into vim. When I started I still used arrow keys occasionally, and the mouse sometimes. Just don't go insane and you'll get the hang of it eventually.
