Someone else will probably beat me to this, but there is a feature in
Emacs that allows you do something similar to ^P/^N ifrom vim:
ESC / runs the command dabbrev-expand
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `dabbrev'.
(dabbrev-expand ARG)
For me it's bound to ATL-/, and I have to load "dabbrev" in my .emacs
file:
(load "dabbrev")
This was the hardest sticking point for me when transitioning from 7+
years of Vim to using Emacs. Once I found the ^P/^N replacement I was
able to switch.
