# Paste A Register From Insert Mode
Generally pasting a register is done from Normal mode using `p` or something
like `'1p` (the latter pasting from register `1`). Vim also allows you to
paste from a register without leaving Insert mode. By hitting `CTRL-R` and
then the name of the register, Vim will insert the contents of the register
in front of the cursor.
For example, to paste from the default register from Insert mode, hit
`CTRL-R 0`.
Note, mappings and abbreviations will not be applied to the inserted text.
See `:h i_CTRL-R` for more details.
