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

A great quandary I found myself in. To solve this I placed the following mappings in my .vimrc:

imap  binding.pry 
nnoremap bp O<% binding.pry %>

The first allows me to use to insert a binding.pry when already in insert mode.

The second lets me use my leader+bp to place a binding.pry above the current line.
