Dear all,
I found out that this functionality is called “mapping”. I followed this
tutorial (https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Mapping_keys_in_Vim_-_Tutorial_(Part_1))
to create a basic map in the insert mode:
:map ,h {% highlight perl %}{% endhighlight %}
What I would like to do, is to place a newline in between the curly braces
symbols “}{“ and have my cursor there, such that I can start typing the source
code directly. Finally, I’m sure the “,h” key combination is not the best.
Would you be able to recommend me some best practices on choosing a good key
combination? Thank you and have a good day ahead!

Best wishes,
