#Tip62: Paste from a Register
##p

puts the text from a register after the cursor position.

##P

puts the text from a register before the cursor position.

Pasting Character-wise Regions
Whether we use the p or P command depends on where the cursor is positioned.

tip62_1

In the first case we would use p, whereas in the second case we would use P.

##<C-r>{register}

paste Character-wise regions of text from Insert mode. The text from the register is always inserted in front of the cursor position.
<C-r>": insert the contents of the unnamed register.
<C-r>0: insert the contents of the yank register.

tip62_2

Pasting Line-Wise Regions
##p P

put the text before or after the current line.

##gp gP

put the text below or above the current line.
but they leave the cursor positioned at the end of the pasted text instead of at the beginning.

tip62_3

P would leave our cursor positioned above the inserted text.
gP would leave our cursor positioned on the second duplicate.
