I do a lot of text editing for work and there are some phrases that I have to type frequently. What’s the best way to quickly paste those phrases into a document using a shortcut or keyword? I mainly use Kwrite and Kate as i prefer plain text editors and need no formatting.

    Besides macros, I think vim had some other relevant feature for this. Just can’t remember it right now.

          Yeah with its flags / regex / python support UltiSnips is really the gold standard of a snippet engine. In many other environments “snippets” really just means “substitute one string for another”, where UltiSnips is so much more!
