Unix Tip #4563- September 8, 2025
ABBREVIATE IN VI
Using .exrc file
Abbreviate in vi...
As well as using map in your .exrc file, you can use the command:
ab
For example:
ab xmas Christmas
So whenever you type xmas - Christmas will be displayed.
Handy for writing the /etc/motd file (maint - maintenance etc).
You can also use the standard set commands - for example:
set number (handy for programmers)
set redraw
set warn (flashes screen instead of using the bell)
