Wait, is it not U (uppercase) to undo the last action? I'm never sure about these vi commands.

This question seems familiar; I think I encountered something like this in a practice quiz, and 'p' was the answer there too.

I might be mixing it up, but I thought 'U' was for undoing changes, not for pasting.

I remember practicing with vi commands, and I feel like 'P' pastes above, so it must be 'p' for below.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know there are a bunch of different vi commands, and I'm having trouble keeping them all straight. I'll have to make an educated guess on this.

I've got this! The answer is definitely lowercase 'p'. That's the standard paste command in vi, right after deleting some text.

Beata

Wait, I'm a little confused. Is it lowercase 'p' or uppercase 'P'? I need to double-check my vi commands.

I think it's the lowercase 'p' that pastes the deleted lines below the current line, but I'm not completely sure.
BR
Brice

Okay, I think I know this one. The key is remembering that lowercase 'p' is the command to paste the deleted text below the current line. I'm pretty confident in that.

'i' is for insert mode, not for pasting.
