Stash the deploy_token line in register a for later. Move onto it (j), then yank the whole line into register a with "ayy. The file must stay unchanged.
scratch notes, ignore these deploy_token = "keep-me-safe-042" more scratch, also ignore
Canonical solution: j "ayy · target: 5 keystrokes — the fewest that solve it (every keypress counts).
Prefix any yank or delete with "{letter} to target a named register: "ayy yanks into a, "ap pastes from it. You have 26 labelled drawers (a–z) that survive while the unnamed register gets overwritten.
Reading about keystrokes doesn't build keystrokes. Try this in a real vim buffer right now — the “A labelled drawer” mission takes about a minute.
