+Cut, Copy and Paste in Vim
+======
+
+Cutting, copying, and pasting text is one of the most basic tasks in text editing and we all know Vim has a different way of doing things.
+
+This means until you get a hang of it, you fear it and once you get a grip, it is nothing but a rabbit hole.
+
+While I'll address cut, copy, and paste in detail, here's a basic summary of this tutorial to get things started:
+
+**Action** | **Description**
+---|---
+`yiw` | Copy the current word.
+`yy` | Copy the whole line.
+`diw` | Cut the current word.
+`dd` | Cut the whole line.
+`p` | Paste text.
+
+Don't worry, Vim gives you much more options than what I've mentioned above.
+
+In this tutorial, I will walk you through the following:
+
+  * How to copy text in Vim
+  * How to cut text in Vim
+  * How to paste text in Vim
+  * How to cut and copy text in Vim using Visual mode
+
+
+
+So let's start with the first one.
+
+### How to copy the text in the Vim editor
+
+While we use the term copy, Vim has a different term called `yank` so from now on, I will be using Yank instead of copy.
+
+As I mentioned earlier, you get multiple ways to yank text in Vim, and here are some useful ones:
+
+Command | Description
+---|---
+`nyy` or `nY` | Yanks (copies) the current line and the next `n-1` lines. For example, `3yy` copies the current line and the two lines below it.
+`yaw` | Yanks (copies) the current word the cursor is on.
+`yy` or `Y` | Yanks (copies) the entire current line.
+`y$` | Yanks (copies) text from the cursor to the end of the line.
+`y^` or `y0` | Yanks (copies) text from the cursor to the beginning of the line.
+
+To yank in Vim, follow 3 simple steps:
+
+  1. Press the `Esc` key to switch to the normal mode
+  2. Navigate to a line or a word that you want to copy
+  3. Press the relative command from the above table and your text will be copied
+

+
+### How to cut text in the Vim editor
+
+In Vim, you don't have any option to delete the text. Instead, you cut the text so you the delete and cut the text are similar things in Vim.
+
+To cut text in Vim, you press the `d` command. But you never use the `d` command without any opinions. You always add something to it to get more out of it.
+
+So here are some practical ways you can cut the text using the `d` command:
+
+Command | Description
+---|---
+`dd` | Cuts the entire current line.
+`d$` | Cuts text from the cursor to the end of the line.
+`d^` or `d0` | Cuts text from the cursor to the beginning of the line.
+`ndd` or `dN` | Cuts the current line and the next `n-1` lines. For example, `3dd` cuts the current line and the two lines below it.
+`daw` | Cuts the current word the cursor is on.
+
+Let's say I want to cut the first 4 lines from my file, then I need to use `4dd` and here's how I did it:

+
+### How to paste text in the Vim editor
+
+After copying or cutting text in Vim, you can simply paste it by pressing the `p` key.
+
+You can press the `p` key multiple times to paste text multiple times or use `np` where the `n` is the number of how many times you want to paste the text.
+
+For example, here, I pasted lines that I copied previously three times:
+

+
+It's that easy!
+
+### How to cut and copy text by selecting it
+
+If you are coming from GUI text editors, you must be used to copying and cutting text by selecting it.
+
+So let's start with how you copy text by selecting it in Vim.
+
+#### Copy the text by selecting it
+
+To copy the text in visual mode, follow 3 simple steps:
+
+  1. Go to the point from where you want to start the selection
+  2. Press `Ctrl + v` to enable the visual mode
+  3. Use arrow keys to make a selection
+  4. Press the `y` key to copy the selected text
+
+
+
+For example, here, I copied 4 lines using the visual mode:
+
+![][3]
+
+If you notice, once I pressed the `y` key, it showed how many lines were yanked (copied). In my case, 4 lines were yanked.
+
+#### Cut the text by selecting it in Vim
+
+To cut the text in Vim in visual mode, all you have to do is follow 4 simple steps:
+
+  1. Navigate to a point from where you want to cut lines
+  2. Press `Ctrl + v` to switch to visual mode
+  3. Use arrow keys to select the lines you want to cut
+  4. Press the `d` key to cut the selected lines
+
+
+
+So let's say I want to cut 4 lines, then, this is how I'd do it:
+
+![][4]
+
+Pretty easy. Right?
