Hitting "u" (for undo) will put them back. vim keeps a very large number
of undo buffers. If you undo too far, you can use ctrl-r to redo.
If you delete something with "d" it also ends up in vim's cut buffer, so
you can use "p" to paste it below the current line (or "P" to paste it
above the current line).
