Insert predefined text on keyboard shortcut

Question

I often insert binding.pry to my ruby files when I debug them. As I use Vim I\'d love to automate it to avoid retyping it every time. How could I do it?

Answer 1

Record a macro (untested)

qq               " record macro to register q 
o                " insert empty line below cursor
esc              " exit insert-mode
:r /path/to/binding.pry   " insert content of file
esc              " cmd-mode
q                " end recording

To execute macro, do

@q

Or add the following to your .vimrc file

update

To insert the string binding.pry the mapping becomes:

map ,p obinding.pry
