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

Easiest is an abbreviation that is triggered from insert mode:

:ia debug binding.pry

Now, when you type debug, the text binding.pry is inserted on a new line.
