imap aa 80i-io

Just put this in the vimrc or in a vi session with a : in normal mode.

Explanation:

This will map the key &#8221;aa&#8221; to the sequence which will add &#8221;-&#8221; 80 times in the current line and then go to new line in insert mode. This is quite simple so any changes required should be simple enough to make.

I found a plugin called <a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1234" target="_blank">yankring which would allow me to yank the text in various combinations. So I can copy a function by going to the begining of the function and then &#8221;y}&#8221;. That is very simple to understand right? Wrong!!!
