    Vim's autocomplete feature looks up words in the current file and included files to avoid typos when completing long function and variable names. It can expand partial inputs to full names with Ctrl-N. Vim also allows recording macros into registers to replay multi-step actions, helping when repeatedly typing the same phrase or sentence.

    Some function and variable names can be awkward to type.

    Can you quickly type "XpmCreatePixmapFromData" without a typo and without looking it up? Vim has a completion mechanism that makes this a whole lot easier. It looks up words in the file you are editing, and also in #include'd files. You can type "XpmCr", then hit CTRL-N and Vim will expand it to "XpmCreatePixmapFromData" for you. Not only does this save quite a bit of typing, it also avoids making a typo and having to fix it later when the compiler gives you an error message. When you are typing a phrase or sentence multiple times, there is an even quicker approach. Vim has a mechanism to record a macro. You type qa to start recording into register 'a'. Then you type your commands as usual and finally hit q again to stop recording. When you want to repeat the recorded commands you type @a. There are 26 registers available for this.
