Vi how to yank an aren without specifying a buffer and paste
I may want to yank (copy?) by marking from certain point to certain point and paste, but I want to do it without specifying any buffer. As we do in gedit by selecting text and copy-paste.

Use visual mode: type v, then use the arrows to mark the area you wish to copy, and then type y to yank
