+			     Inserting quickly
+
+
+When entering text, Vim offers various ways to reduce the number of keystrokes
+and avoid typing mistakes.  Use Insert mode completion to repeat previously
+typed words.  Abbreviate long words to short ones.  Type characters that
+aren't on your keyboard.

+
+==============================================================================
+*24.1*	Making corrections
+
+The <BS> key was already mentioned.  It deletes the character just before the
+cursor.  The <Del> key does the same for the character under (after) the
+cursor.
+   When you typed a whole word wrong, use CTRL-W:
+
+	The horse had fallen to the sky ~
+				       CTRL-W
+	The horse had fallen to the ~
+
+If you really messed up a line and want to start over, use CTRL-U to delete
+it.  This keeps the text after the cursor and the indent.  Only the text from
+the first non-blank to the cursor is deleted.  With the cursor on the "f" of
+"fallen" in the next line pressing CTRL-U does this:
+
+	The horse had fallen to the ~
+		      CTRL-U
+	fallen to the ~
+
+When you spot a mistake a few words back, you need to move the cursor there to
+correct it.  For example, you typed this:
+
+	The horse had follen to the ground ~
+
+You need to change "follen" to "fallen".  With the cursor at the end, you
+would type this to correct it: >
+
+					<Esc>4blraA
+
+<	get out of Insert mode		<Esc>
+	four words back			     4b
+	move on top of the "o"		       l
+	replace with "a"			ra
+	restart Insert mode			  A
+
+Another way to do this: >
+
+		<C-Left><C-Left><C-Left><C-Left><Right><Del>a<End>
+
+<	four words back		     <C-Left><C-Left><C-Left><C-Left>
+	move on top of the "o"			<Right>
+	delete the "o"				       <Del>
+	insert an "a"					    a
+	go to end of the line				     <End>
+
+This uses special keys to move around, while remaining in Insert mode.  This
+resembles what you would do in a modeless editor.  It's easier to remember,
+but takes more time (you have to move your hand from the letters to the cursor
+keys, and the <End> key is hard to press without looking at the keyboard).
+   These special keys are most useful when writing a mapping that doesn't
+leave Insert mode.  The extra typing doesn't matter then.
+   An overview of the keys you can use in Insert mode:
+
+	<C-Home>	to start of the file
+	<PageUp>	a whole screenful up
+	<Home>		to start of line
+	<S-Left>	one word left
+	<C-Left>	one word left
+	<S-Right>	one word right
+	<C-Right>	one word right
+	<End>		to end of the line
+	<PageDown>	a whole screenful down
+	<C-End>		to end of the file
+
+There are a few more, see |ins-special-special|.
+
+==============================================================================
+*24.2*	Showing matches
+
+When you type a ) it would be nice to see with which ( it matches.  To make
+Vim do that use this command: >
+
+	:set showmatch
+
+When you now type a text like "(example)", as soon as you type the ) Vim will
+briefly move the cursor to the matching (, keep it there for half a second,
+and move back to where you were typing.
+   In case there is not matching (, Vim will beep.  Then you know that you
+might have forgotten the ( somewhere, or typed a ) too many.
+   The match will also be shown for [] and {} pairs.  You don't have to wait
+with typing the next character, as soon as Vim sees it the cursor will move
+back and inserting continues as before.
+   You can change the time Vim waits with the 'matchtime' option.  For
+example, to make Vim wait one and a half second: >
+
+	:set matchtime=15
+
+The time is specified in tenths of a second.
+
+==============================================================================
+*24.3*	Completion
+
+Vim can automatically complete words on insertion.  You type the first part of
+a word, press CTRL-P, and Vim guesses the rest.
+   Suppose, for example, that you are creating a C program and want to type in
+the following:
+
+	total = ch_array[0] + ch_array[1] + ch_array[2]; ~
+
+You start by entering the following:
+
+	total = ch_array[0] + ch_ ~
+
+At this point, you tell Vim to complete the word using the command CTRL-P.
+Vim searches for a word that starts with what's in front of the cursor.  In
+this case, it is "ch_", which matches with the word ch_array.  So typing
+CTRL-P gives you the following:
+
+	total = ch_array[0] + ch_array ~
+
+After a little more typing, you get this (ending in a space):
+
+	total = ch_array[0] + ch_array[1] +  ~
+
+If you now type CTRL-P Vim will search again for a word that completes the
+word before the cursor.  Since there is nothing in front of the cursor, it
+finds the first word backwards, which is "ch_array".  Typing CTRL-P again
+gives you the next word that matches, in this case "total".  A third CTRL-P
+searches further back.  If there is nothing else, it causes the editor to run
+out of words, so it returns to the original text, which is nothing.  A fourth
+CTRL-P causes the editor to start over again with "ch_array".
+
+To search forward, use CTRL-N.  Since the search wraps around the end of the
+file, CTRL-N and CTRL-P will find the same matches, but in a different
+sequence.  Hint: CTRL-N is Next-match and CTRL-P is Previous-match.
+
+The Vim editor goes through a lot of effort to find words to complete.  By
+default, it searches the following places:
+
+	1. Current file
+	2. Files in other windows
+	3. Other loaded files (hidden buffers)
+	4. Files which are not loaded (inactive buffers)
+	5. Tag files
+	6. All files #included by the current file
+
+
+OPTIONS
+
+You can customize the search order with the 'complete' option.
+
+The 'ignorecase' option is used.  When it is set, case differences are ignored
+when searching for matches.
+
+A special option for completion is 'infercase'.  This is useful to find
+matches while ignoring case ('ignorecase' must be set) but still using the
+case of the word typed so far.  Thus if you type "For" and Vim finds a match
+"fortunately", it will result in "Fortunately".
+
+
+COMPLETING SPECIFIC ITEMS
+
+If you know what you are looking for, you can use these commands to complete
+with a certain type of item:
+
+	CTRL-X CTRL-F		file names
+	CTRL-X CTRL-L		whole lines
+	CTRL-X CTRL-D		macro definitions (also in included files)
+	CTRL-X CTRL-I		current and included files
+	CTRL-X CTRL-K		words from a dictionary
+	CTRL-X CTRL-T		words from a thesaurus
+	CTRL-X CTRL-]		tags
+	CTRL-X CTRL-V		Vim command line
+
+After each of them CTRL-N can be used to find the next match, CTRL-P to find
+the previous match.
+   More information for each of these commands here: |ins-completion|.
+
+
+COMPLETING FILE NAMES
+
+Let's take CTRL-X CTRL-F as an example.  This will find file names.  It scans
+the current directory for files and displays each one that matches the word in
+front of the cursor.
+   Suppose, for example, that you have the following files in the current
+directory:
+
+	main.c  sub_count.c  sub_done.c  sub_exit.c
+
+Now enter Insert mode and start typing:
+
+	The exit code is in the file sub ~
+
+At this point, you enter the command CTRL-X CTRL-F.  Vim now completes the
+current word "sub" by looking at the files in the current directory.  The
+first match is sub_count.c.  This is not the one you want, so you match the
+next file by typing CTRL-N.  This match is sub_done.c.  Typing CTRL-N again
+takes you to sub_exit.c.  The results:
+
+	The exit code is in the file sub_exit.c ~
+
+If the file name starts with / (Unix) or C:\ (MS-Windows) you can find all
+files in the file system.  For example, type "/u" and CTRL-X CTRL-F.  This
+will match "/usr" (this is on Unix):
+
+	the file is found in /usr/ ~
+
+If you now press CTRL-N you go back to "/u".  Instead, to accept the "/usr/"
+and go one directory level deeper, use CTRL-X CTRL-F again:
+
+	the file is found in /usr/X11R6/ ~
+
+The results depend on what is found in your file system, of course.  The
+matches are sorted alphabetically.
+
+==============================================================================
+*24.4*	Repeating an insert
+
+If you press CTRL-A, the editor inserts the text you typed the last time you
+were in Insert mode.
+   Assume, for example, that you have a file that begins with the following:
+
+	"file.h" ~
+	/* Main program begins */ ~
+
+You edit this file by inserting "#include " at the beginning of the first
+line:
+
+	#include "file.h" ~
+	/* Main program begins */ ~
+
+You go down to the beginning of the next line using the commands "j^".  You
+now start to insert a new "#include" line.  So you type: >
+
+	i CTRL-A
+
+The result is as follows:
+
+	#include "file.h" ~
+	#include /* Main program begins */ ~
+
+The "#include " was inserted because CTRL-A inserts the text of the previous
+insert.  Now you type  "main.h"<Enter>  to finish the line:
+
+
+	#include "file.h" ~
+	#include "main.h" ~
+	/* Main program begins */ ~
+
+The CTRL-@ command does a CTRL-A and then exits Insert mode.  That's a quick
+way of doing exactly the same insertion again.
+
+==============================================================================
+*24.5*	Copying from another line
+
+The CTRL-Y command inserts the character above the cursor.  This is useful
+when you are duplicating a previous line.  For example, you have this line of
+C code:
+
+	b_array[i]->s_next = a_array[i]->s_next; ~
+
+Now you need to type the same line, but with "s_prev" instead of "s_next".
+Start the new line, and press CTRL-Y 14 times, until you are at the "n" of
+"next":
+
+	b_array[i]->s_next = a_array[i]->s_next; ~
+	b_array[i]->s_ ~
+
+Now you type "prev":
+
+	b_array[i]->s_next = a_array[i]->s_next; ~
+	b_array[i]->s_prev ~
+
+Continue pressing CTRL-Y until the following "next":
+
+	b_array[i]->s_next = a_array[i]->s_next; ~
+	b_array[i]->s_prev = a_array[i]->s_ ~
+
+Now type "prev;" to finish it off.
+
+The CTRL-E command acts like CTRL-Y except it inserts the character below the
+cursor.
+
+==============================================================================
+*24.6*	Inserting a register
+
+The command CTRL-R {register} inserts the contents of the register.  This is
+useful to avoid having to type a long word.  For example, you need to type
+this:
+
+	r = VeryLongFunction(a) + VeryLongFunction(b) + VeryLongFunction(c) ~
+
+The function name is defined in a different file.  Edit that file and move the
+cursor on top of the function name there, and yank it into register v: >
+
+	"vyiw
+
+"v is the register specification, "yiw" is yank-inner-word.  Now edit the file
+where the new line is to be inserted, and type the first letters:
+
+	r = ~
+
+Now use CTRL-R v to insert the function name:
+
+	r = VeryLongFunction ~
+
+You continue to type the characters in between the function name, and use
+CTRL-R v two times more.
+   You could have done the same with completion.  Using a register is useful
+when there are many words that start with the same characters.
+
+If the register contains characters such as <BS> or other special characters,
+they are interpreted as if they had been typed from the keyboard.  If you do
+not want this to happen (you really want the <BS> to be inserted in the text),
+use the command CTRL-R CTRL-R {register}.
+
+==============================================================================
+*24.7*	Abbreviations
+
+An abbreviation is a short word that takes the place of a long one.  For
+example, "ad" stands for "advertisement".  Vim enables you to type an
+abbreviation and then will automatically expand it for you.
+   To tell Vim to expand "ad" into "advertisement" every time you insert it,
+use the following command: >
+
+	:iabbrev ad advertisement
+
+Now, when you type "ad", the whole word "advertisement" will be inserted into
+the text.  This is triggered by typing a character that can't be part of a
+word, for example a space:
+
+	What Is Entered		What You See
+	I saw the a		I saw the a ~
+	I saw the ad		I saw the ad ~
+	I saw the ad<Space>	I saw the advertisement<Space> ~
+
+The expansion doesn't happen when typing just "ad".  That allows you to type a
+word like "add", which will not get expanded.  Only whole words are checked
+for abbreviations.
+
+
+ABBREVIATING SEVERAL WORDS
+
+It is possible to define an abbreviation that results in multiple words.  For
+example, to define "JB" as "Jack Benny", use the following command: >
+
+	:iabbrev JB Jack Benny
+
+As a programmer, I use two rather unusual abbreviations: >
+
+	:iabbrev #b /****************************************
+	:iabbrev #e <Space>****************************************/
+
+These are used for creating boxed comments.  The comment starts with #b, which
+draws the top line.  I then type the comment text and use #e to draw the
+bottom line.
+   Notice that the #e abbreviation begins with a space.  In other words, the
+first two characters are space-star.  Usually Vim ignores spaces between the
+abbreviation and the expansion.  To avoid that problem, I spell space as seven
+characters: <, S, p, a, c, e, >.
+
+	Note:
+	":iabbrev" is a long word to type.  ":iab" works just as well.
+	That's abbreviating the abbreviate command!
+
+
+FIXING TYPING MISTAKES
+
+It's very common to make the same typing mistake every time.  For example,
+typing "teh" instead of "the".  You can fix this with an abbreviation: >
+
+	:abbreviate teh the
+
+You can add a whole list of these.  Add one each time you discover a common
+mistake.
+
+
+LISTING ABBREVIATIONS
+
+The ":abbreviate" command lists the abbreviations:
+
+	:abbreviate
+	i  #e		  ****************************************/
+	i  #b		 /****************************************
+	i  JB		 Jack Benny
+	i  ad		 advertisement
+	!  teh		 the
+
+The "i" in the first column indicates Insert mode.  These abbreviations are
+only active in Insert mode.  Other possible characters are:
+
+	c	Command-line mode			:cabbrev
+	!	both Insert and Command-line mode	:abbreviate
+
+Since abbreviations are not often useful in Command-line mode, you will mostly
+use the ":iabbrev" command.  That avoids, for example, that "ad" gets expanded
+when typing a command like: >
+
+	:edit ad
+
+
+DELETING ABBREVIATIONS
+
+To get rid of an abbreviation, use the ":unabbreviate" command.  Suppose you
+have the following abbreviation: >
+
+	:abbreviate @f fresh
+
+You can remove it with this command: >
+
+	:unabbreviate @f
+
+While you type this, you will notice that @f is expanded to "fresh".  Don't
+worry about this, Vim understands it anyway (except when you have an
+abbreviation for "fresh", but that's very unlikely).
+   To remove all the abbreviations: >
+
+	:abclear
+
+":unabbreviate" and ":abclear" also come in the variants for Insert mode
+(":iunabbreviate and ":iabclear") and Command-line mode (":cunabbreviate" and
+":cabclear").
+
+
+REMAPPING ABBREVIATIONS
+
+There is one thing to watch out for when defining an abbreviation: The
+resulting string should not be mapped.  For example: >
+
+	:abbreviate @a adder
+	:imap dd disk-door
+
+When you now type @a, you will get "adisk-doorer".  That's not what you want.
+To avoid this, use the ":noreabbrev" command.  It does the same as
+":abbreviate", but avoids that the resulting string is used for mappings: >
+
+	:noreabbrev @a adder
+
+Fortunately, it's unlikely that the result of an abbreviation is mapped.
+
+==============================================================================
+*24.8*	Entering special characters
+
+The CTRL-V command is used to insert the next character literally.  In other
+words, any special meaning the character has, it will be ignored.  For
+example: >
+
+	CTRL-V <Esc>
+
+Inserts an escape character.  Thus you don't leave Insert mode.  (Don't type
+the space after CTRL-V, it's only to make this easier to read).
+
+	Note:
+	On MS-Windows CTRL-V is used to paste text.  Use CTRL-Q instead of
+	CTRL-V.  On Unix, on the other hand, CTRL-Q does not work on some
+	terminals, because it has a special meaning.
+
+You can also use the command CTRL-V {digits} to insert a character with the
+decimal number {digits}.  For example, the character number 127 is the <Del>
+character (but not necessarily the <Del> key!).  To insert <Del> type: >
+
+	CTRL-V 127
+
+You can enter characters up to 255 this way.  When you type fewer than two
+digits, a non-digit will terminate the command.  To avoid the need of typing a
+non-digit, prepend one or two zeros to make three digits.
+   All the next commands insert a <Tab> and then a dot:
+
+	CTRL-V 9.
+	CTRL-V 09.
+	CTRL-V 009.
+
+To enter a character in hexadecimal, use an "x" after the CTRL-V: >
+
+	CTRL-V x7f
+
+This also goes up to character 255 (CTRL-V xff).  You can use "o" to type a
+character as an octal number and two more methods allow you to type up to
+a 16 bit and a 32 bit number (e.g., for a Unicode character): >
+
+	CTRL-V o123
+	CTRL-V u1234
+	CTRL-V U12345678
+
+==============================================================================
+*24.9*	Digraphs
+
+Some characters are not on the keyboard.  For example, the copyright character
+(©).  To type these characters in Vim, you use digraphs, where two characters
+represent one.  To enter a ©, for example, you press three keys: >
+
+	CTRL-K Co
+
+To find out what digraphs are available, use the following command: >
+
+	:digraphs
+
+Vim will display the digraph table.  Here are three lines of it:
+
+  AC ~_ 159  NS |  160  !I ¡  161  Ct ¢  162  Pd £  163  Cu ¤  164  Ye ¥  165 ~
+  BB ¦  166  SE §  167  ': ¨  168  Co ©  169  -a ª  170  << «  171  NO ¬  172 ~
+  -- ­  173  Rg ®  174  'm ¯  175  DG °  176  +- ±  177  2S ²  178  3S ³  179 ~
+
+This shows, for example, that the digraph you get by typing CTRL-K Pd is the
+character (£).  This is character number 163 (decimal).
+   Pd is short for Pound.  Most digraphs are selected to give you a hint about
+the character they will produce.  If you look through the list you will
+understand the logic.
+   You can exchange the first and second character, if there is no digraph for
+that combination.  Thus CTRL-K dP also works.  Since there is no digraph for
+"dP" Vim will also search for a "Pd" digraph.
+
+	Note:
+	The digraphs depend on the character set that Vim assumes you are
+	using.  On MS-DOS they are different from MS-Windows.  Always use
+	":digraphs" to find out which digraphs are currently available.
+
+You can define your own digraphs.  Example: >
+
+	:digraph a" ä
+
+This defines that CTRL-K a" inserts an ä character.  You can also specify the
+character with a decimal number.  This defines the same digraph: >
+
+	:digraph a" 228
+
+More information about digraphs here: |digraphs|
+   Another way to insert special characters is with a keymap.  More about that
+here: |45.5|
+
+==============================================================================
+*24.10*	Normal mode commands
+
+Insert mode offers a limited number of commands.  In Normal mode you have many
+more.  When you want to use one, you usually leave Insert mode with <Esc>,
+execute the Normal mode command, and re-enter Insert mode with "i" or "a".
+   There is a quicker way.  With CTRL-O {command} you can execute any Normal
+mode command from Insert mode.  For example, to delete from the cursor to the
+end of the line: >
+
+	CTRL-O D
+
+You can execute only one Normal mode command this way.  But you can specify a
+register or a count.  A more complicated example: >
+
+	CTRL-O "g3dw
+
+This deletes up to the third word into register g.
