Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to paste the contents of a
buffer when in command line mode. For example, if I want to search for
the word that I'm on, I was thinking of highlighting it in visual
mode, yanking it into a buffer, then searching for what I yanked.
Thanks,
Ven

Wow, that's great! I learned two new features of vim with one
e-mail thread- using * and #, as well as how to paste buffer
contents with ctrl+r.
And hopefully you can also learn that the vim term is
"registers", not "buffers" ;-)
The right terminology
