The black hole register "_
will do the trick, but there is a better solution:
When you enter the line back with the p
command you are pasting the contents of the (volatile) default register ""
, which has been overwritten by dd
. But you still can paste from the (non volatile) yank register "0
, which won’t be overwritten by the delete command dd
.
So these are the commands you want to use as per your example:
yy
dd
"0p
