Vim: copy/delete line from the first none blank character to the last none blank character

Most time when I copy or delete some code in Vim use yy or dd, I also got the indent spaces. Is there a quick command that I can yank a line without leading or trailing spaces?

There's another way to solve your implied problem. After you yank line(s) into the buffer, you can then paste them using the appropriate indent using ]p or ]P. These paste commands automatically adjust the indent of the pasted line(s) to match the indent of the line where the cursor is.

I'm not a wizard, but:

^v$gey

works for me. You can always make an alias.

EDIT: here's a better one that doesn't rely on visual mode.
