paste
paste [buffername] [ -after]
 
This command inserts the text from the specified paste buffer at the current cursor location. In the Edit view, the cursor is placed after the pasted region. In the Document Map view, the cursor is placed before the pasted region; you can control this behavior with the set docmappastecaret=off option.
If a buffer name is given, that buffer is used. Otherwise, text is inserted from the current buffer (see set paste=buffername). Once text is placed in the paste buffer, it can be pasted back any number of times (until it is replaced).
The optional -after flag is used when pasting table objects. If -after is specified, the table object(s) in the paste buffer will be pasted after the cell, row, or column containing the text caret. If -after is omitted, the table object(s) in the paste buffer will be pasted before the cell, row, or column containing the text caret.
