How do I repeatedly search & replace a long string of text in vim? -
i'm aware of vim replace command, of form, eg:
:%s/old/new/gc
but if either of these strings long? how can use visual selection mode, clipboard or vim registers instead of having type old/new text in?
according manual, can use ctrl+r insert contents of register current position in command line. manual claims ctrl+y inserts text highlighted mouse command line. remember in x11 , other systems, can paste text program system clipboard using middle mouse button or menu command in terminal emulator.
