In my python application i need to write import import pdb; pdb.set_trace() for debugging.
And after debugging line is removed.
Is there any way in gvim to insert this line by key mapping, so that i have not to type it every time ?
Add to your .vimrc:
command D :normal iimport pdb; pdb.set_trace()^V ESC
Note:
is. Essentially this command does everything that you do when manually entering that text (press i to start insert mode, type the remaining text, etc.).^V ESC means: Press CtrlV to get into verbatim mode, and then press Esc. This will enter Esc as a character (visible as ^[).Now, in you can go to command mode and use the D command to have this text inserted:
:D
You can also map this to a normal mode shortcut, perhaps.
Instead of ^V ESC, which will bring you out of insert mode, you can add ^V Enter (same thing, press Enter instead of Esc) to go to a new line and remain in insert mode.
