I do a lot of text editing for work and there are some phrases that I have to type frequently. What's the best way to quickly paste those phrases into a document using a shortcut or keyword? I mainly use Kwrite and Kate as i prefer plain text editors and need no formatting.

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.
