Is it possible to abbreviate multiple words.   For example to enter a
command such as

ab "by using" using

so that anytime the words "by using" are entered, they will be
replaced by just "using"?

Thanks

You can check out Kana's ctxabbr plugin (actually an autoload script):
http://vim.sf.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=2514

The script serves a slightly different purpose, but the following works
for me:

    :call ctxabbr#define('using', "\<C-W>using", '<by')

This defines a "context sensitive" abbreviation.  It works like

    :inoreabbrev using <C-W>using

but expands only when "by" is found to the left.
