How can I paste the last string of text that I entered when I was in insert mode? I think I've done this before on accident but I can't recall how.

I believe the command you're looking for is simply . (period/full stop key). It's a normal mode command, so simply press the key in normal mode.

. in normal mode will repeat the last change. If you want to paste the last inserted text it can be found in the . register. e.g. ".p In insert mode to insert the last inserted text use <c-a> – Peter Rincker Sep 26 '11 at 14:13
