If you're in Insert Mode, and you want to paste the thing you last yanked, without leaving insert mode, you can do the following:<C-r>0

That pastes the contents of the 0 register into the buffer. Very useful. That'll work for all registers too.

Can also do <C-r>" (double quote instead of 0) to paste from the default yank register while in Insert Mode.
