Thank you both for your replies.
I used imap as suggested previously, it works well because it also
allows positioning the cursor to between the double quotes.
Also , if we add this
:imap sout<Press Tab> System.out.println("");<Esc>F"i
to a new file created under
C:\Program Files\Vim\vimfiles\ftplugin\java.vim
the mapping gets set each time ViM is started, so I don't have to set
the mapping each time.
I got this tip from: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip1510 (Keep your
vimrc file clean)
I made a newbie mistake by sending this message twice
once to [email protected] and once to [email protected] thinking it
might not have reached, so sorry about that.
