2. Abbreviations *abbreviations* *Abbreviations*
Abbreviations are used in Insert mode, Replace mode and Command-line
mode.
:ab[breviate] [<expr>] {lhs} {rhs}
add abbreviation for {lhs} to {rhs}. If {lhs} already existed it is
replaced with the new {rhs}. {rhs} may contain spaces.
:ia[bbrev] [<expr>] [lhs] [rhs]
same as ":ab", but for Insert mode only. {not in Vi}
:ca[bbrev] [<expr>] [lhs] [rhs]
same as ":ab", but for Command-line mode only. {not in Vi}
