Read a File Into Vim
In a Hashrocket blog post earlier this year I wrote about a command to read a file into your current Vim window:
:.! cat [filename]
A similar idea, from the command line:
$ cat [source_file] >> [target_file]
But with Vim there's always a better way:
:r[ead] [filename]
This command reads [filename] (defaulting to the current file) into in your window.
