diw"0P
Your approach doesn't appear to work. For example, suppose
you have a sentence:
This is the Vim Editor.
and both the unnamed and 0 registers contain Gvim.
Place the cursor on the 'i' in Vim, making Vim the current
word, and type Pdwbyw and you get:
This is the VGviEditor.
and "0 is changed to: VGviEditor
Also "0 is not always the same as the unnamed register -
which would give even more strange results.
If instead you typed diw"0P you get:
This is the Gvim Editor
and "0 is unchanged.
