Now that we have a couple of lines written, let’s edit it a bit more and remove some cruft.

x - used to cut the selected text also used for deleting characters
dd - used to delete the current line
y - yank or copy whatever is selected
yy - yank or copy the current line
p - paste the copied text before the cursor
