There exist a lot of template/skeleton expander plugins. Each has its own format. Most of them are listed there : http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Automated_Text_Insertion I'm maintaining the fork of mutemplate. The expansion in insert-mode is done with <c-r><tab> by default, you can bind it to any other keystrokes -- :h <Plug>MuT_ckword You can specify where the cursor will jump to with placeholders like '<++>' (or any other string as it can be specified in each template-file) -- the cursor will jump to the first placeholder in the template-file. XPtemplate should also answer yours needs. What its author has done with placeholders is really neat. -- Luc Hermitte http://lh-vim.googlecode.com/ http://hermitte.free.fr/vim/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
