Text editor with predefined text snippets?

mFat@lemdro.id to Linux@lemmy.ml – 37 points –

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.

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!
