The most common method of copy&paste is by cutting out using C-k .
C-k cuts until the end of line, typing C-k many times will cut many lines.
If you cut a few lines than move around and cut more lines

In order to paste we will yank the text out of the buffer using C-y
you can yank(paste) out however many times you want wherever you want.
