TL;DR →

Copy & Paste - copy current line. Paste after cursor - paste after cursor. Remove & Paster - remove current line - remove contents of line. undo - undo the contents of the line that has been removed. Use the Yank Buffer to save the contents were deleted.

Copy & Paste

'yy' - copy current line
'p' - paste after cursor
'u' - undo
'3yy' then 'p'

Remove & Paster

'dd' - remove current line
'p' - [N]dd uses the Yank Buffer to save the contents were deleted
'3dd' then 'p'
