I'm trying to copy the text inside curly braces and I need to copy the text plus the curly braces into register 'b'. There is a Vim command that could do this?

    Detailed explanation: `v : enter visual mode` `a{ : select content and curly braces itself` `"by : yank into register b` – Tommy Nguyen Apr 17 '18 at 03:30
