12.3 Copy Line

The next three commands function much like the rest of the block commands, but they do not require block markers. They are useful in making multiple copies of a single line of text.

12.3.1 Mark Copy Line [Escape 9]

This command will copy the screen line under the cursor to a special buffer. The entire line is copied, including a terminating EOL, if present.

12.3.2 Mark Copy Line Cursor [Escape (]

This command functions just like Mark Copy Line, above, with the exception that only the text from the current cursor position to the end of the screen line is saved.

12.3.3 Put Marked Line [Escape 0]

This command will copy the text saved with either of the command listed above to the current cursor position. This command can be executed any number of times. This is very useful for copying items like comment headers, etc.
