Is there a way to paste something into the minibuffer?
For example if I want to eval-expression and paste something in there neiter C-v or (obviously p) will work? There has to be a way.

C-y does work, but you can also paste into the minibuffer from the default register using dotspacemacs-emacs-leader-key instead of dotspacemacs-leader-key, in which case you can use: leaderre" or leaderrereturn.
Alternatively, you can search and paste the contents from any register: for example leaderre phrase you remember.
Personally, I've just set dotspacemacs-emacs-leader-key to an easily accessible key chord and used it everywhere instead of dotspacemacs-leader-key.

C-ypastes the"buffer for me, but if I trySPC-r-e-"in the minibuffer it just says "Whitespace is not allowed here" followed by typingre"Any suggestions?– bobpaulCommented May 31, 2017 at 17:11 -
@bobpaul I gave incorrect keybindings--thanks for the heads up. I've corrected my answer above. Commented May 31, 2017 at 17:54
C-y(which would be the Emacs standard key) ?
