How to cut an entire line in vim and paste it?

I know how to use the v command in vim, but I need something which will delete an entire line and it should allow me to paste the same line somewhere else.

dd in command mode (after pressing escape) will cut the line, p in command mode will paste.

Update:

For a bonus, d and then a movement will cut the equivalent of that movement, so dw will cut a word, d<down-arrow> will cut this line and the line below, d50w will cut 50 words.

yy is copy line, and works like dd.

D cuts from cursor to end of line.

If you've used v (visual mode), you should try V (visual line mode) and <ctrl>v (visual block mode).

Pressing Shift+v would select that entire line and pressing d would delete it.

You can also use dd, which is does not require you to enter visual mode.

Delete current line and copy to clipboard:

d + d

Paste After The Cursor

p

Paste Before The Cursor

Shift + p

Select Whole Line (I use this ALL the time)

Shift + v

Then j or k to move down and up respectively

Essentially d + d is the equivalent of Shift + v then d

There are several ways to cut a line, all controlled by the d key in normal mode. If you are using visual mode (the v key) you can just hit the d key once you have highlighted the region you want to cut. Move to the location you would like to paste and hit the p key to paste.

It's also worth mentioning that you can copy/cut/paste from registers. Suppose you aren't sure when or where you want to paste the text. You could save the text to up to 24 registers identified by an alphabetical letter. Just prepend your command with ' (single quote) and the register letter (a thru z). For instance you could use the visual mode (v key) to select some text and then type 'ad to cut the text and store it in register 'a'. Once you navigate to the location where you want to paste the text you would type 'ap to paste the contents of register a.
