TIL: Abbreviations in Vim
Last updated: Thu Jul 27 2023
vim has an abbreviation system:
:iabbrev calc calculate
Then, any time you type calc followed by a non-word character in insert mode, it’ll expand to calculate.
You can even abbreviate multiple words like :iabbrev JB Jack Benny!
Alternatively, I might use Raycast’s snippets with a keyword to get the same behavior, which has the benefit of also working outside vim.
