Text editor with predefined text snippets?
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.
UltiSnips is fantastic
Yeah with its flags / regex / python support UltiSnips is really the gold standard of a snippet engine. In many other environments "snippets" really just means "substitute one string for another", where UltiSnips is so much more!
Might be a plugin. I think I'm using friendly-snippets (whatever is in LazyVim). There is also LuaSnip. They feed into my auto completion plugin as one of several sources.
