From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Vim macros are quite easy to use, if you already know how to vi.
Besides macros, I think vim had some other relevant feature for this. Just can't remember it right now.
I use (neo)vim with UltiSnips for coding, text editing and writing e-mails, and it works great! It's super customizable.
UltiSnips is fantastic
Yeah with its flags / regex / python support UltiSnips is really the gold standard of a snippet engine. In many other environments "snippets" really just means "substitute one string for another", where UltiSnips is so much more!
Might be a plugin. I think I'm using friendly-snippets (whatever is in LazyVim). There is also LuaSnip. They feed into my auto completion plugin as one of several sources.
