That awesome!

There are always many ways to deal with workflow annoyances you run into. Most people go looking for plugins or write a plugin or remap some keybindings, but many forget to read the manual to look for builtin solutions. In the case of using d, you can assign the deleted text to a register other than the default register for yank/delete commands.

dd will delete a line and send it to register "

"xdd will delete a line and send it to register x

p will put the text from register " after the cursor

"xp will put the text from register x after the cursor

Use any lowercase letter for a register. There's always more beneath the surface of simple vim features.
