Question

I’m looking for the way to insert a line of code with a keystroke like leaderp in Macvim

I want to insert the following line of code:

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

Probably not an unheard of line of code in python land

Answer 1

This might not be the best vimscript every but it does wat you want! 🙂 Just place this in your .vimrc and you can call it with leader p.

map <Leader>p :call InsertLine()<CR>

function! InsertLine()
  let trace = expand("import pdb; pdb.set_trace()")
  execute "normal o".trace
endfunction
