Yank a whole file in Vim.
Most people use
ggVG"y+
to yank the whole file which is highly inefficient.
A much faster way is to use
:%y+
You can easily map it for faster use:
map <Leader>y :%y+<cr>
Makes copying the whole file much faster!

I would rather use <Leader>fy as <Leader>y is nicer to have binded to "+y.
