Word completion is available and it would be possible to implement something like this in vim script. But, as far as I know, vim users don't typically use this; it doesn't generally fit in with the philosophy of the editor.
- jrockway 18y agoSo you let the philosophy of your editor get in the way of writing good code? Sounds like a plan...
- astine 18y agolol. No, you let it get in the way of extending your editor. You can write good code without abbreviation expansions. Vi hardliners would see it as unnecessary feature creep as it is rather complicated and doesn't fit in as well as other commands.
