It's not really the same, but there is something that achieves the same thing, especially if you do it often with the same patterns, namely snippets. If you define snippets, you can use $1..9 to define text insertion places, which can be skipped between using tab. But you can also use the same variable (say $1) any number of times and the text you type, will be mirrored in each location.
