I practiced this last week, and "17yy" sounds familiar, but I can't recall if there's a different way to do it.

I feel like I might confuse this with the paste command. Is it really just "17yy"?

I remember practicing with similar commands, and I think "17yy" is the right one for copying multiple lines.

I think the command might be something like "17yy," but I'm not completely sure if I remember the syntax correctly.

Ugh, vi commands are not my strong suit. Let me think this through step-by-step...17yy, right? I hope that's correct.

Okay, I'm pretty sure it's 17yy to copy the current line and the 16 lines below it. Gotta love those vi shortcuts!

Hmm, I think the 17yy command should do the trick. Let me double-check that in the vi cheat sheet.

17yy? Sounds like a lot of work. I'd just use the mouse and click-and-drag instead.
