Vim - How do I paste a inner-word to line above?
1
I always use the following commands to yank an inner word and then paste it in the line above: yiw -> O -> Esc -> p
Obviously P by itself (without using O to insert a line above) doesn't work, because there's no new line character, so instead that just pastes it before the cursor.
Is there an easier way to do this?

Not sure if that counts as "easier", but you can use <kbd>O</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd>, <kbd>"</kbd>, <kbd>Esc</kbd> to insert a line above with the contents of the latest yank. See help on i_CTRL-R for theCtrl+Rpart, also help on registers...

Also possible:put!, since the:putcommand always works linewise. (The version with the!inserts the contents before the current line.)
