Question

I would like to setup a command to yank the whole file without moving the cursor.

Here is the macro I created:

qaggVGy

However, this moves the cursor to the beginning of the file. How can I yank the whole file without losing the cursors position ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I usually use :%y+ to yank the complete file into the system clipboard. You can of course use any other register as you like.
