How to do inline paste from system buffer in Vim?

Question

When pasting from the system buffer in a line like

foo( someVal , <cursor is here>, someVal3); 

If I use "*p I get

foo( someVal, , someVal3);
<pasted text>

If I use "*P I get

<pasted text>
foo( someVal, , someVal3);

but I want

foo( someVal, <pasted text>, someVal3 );

How can I get the result I want?

edit

If there is a newline in the buffer as @amardeep suspects, is there a way I can tell vim to ignore it?

Answer 1

Use capital P instead of lower case p in that command.

Answer 2

Oh well, I just recorded macros to workaround it for now. Thanks @Amardeep for the attempts.

Answer 3

"*p or "+p works for me. Are you sure that's what you're actually typing?

Answer 4

You can type <C-r>* in insert mode and then use <BS> to remove trailing newline.
