Yes, possible in a variety of ways. The simplest probably being an autocmd to read a template file when creating a new buffer. > (2) it would be nice if moving between lines (j k), the cursor > actually goes after the = directly.

Or, why do you want this? If just to be in a convenient place to append text, you don't need it. Rather than using a/i to start insert mode, use "A" instead to append to the end of the entire line no matter where your cursor is. > (3) nice feature would be to have completion popup menus, based on the line. > For example, <C-P> would offer "True | False" options if cursor is in > "enable= " line. > But the menu would be "Mon | Tue | Wed...." if cursor is in "day = " line. > Is it possible? > This is possible but not trivial.
