Is there a quick way to insert a variable into a equasion, which you already used before?(simulare to C). It is quite the effort with indices!

Not sure what exactly you have in mind.

Do you think of Mathcad suggesting inputs when you begin typing?

Unfortunately thats not available in Mathcad but its a convenient feature available for a long time in SMath Studio (a free mathcad clone):

BTW, if that kind of feature is available when you code in C, then that's not a feature of the programming language C but rather a feature of the editor/IDE you use.

Not sure I understand what you're asking!  But Mathcad is pretty powerful:

Can you give an example?

You can of course copy and past the variable.  That's what I do.  There is no auto-suggest. 

 

Note, the pasting can be fussy.  You have to have a proper location for it to be pasted into.  For example, you may need to have a*b* *c=  spelled out if you want to pasted a value between b and c.  If there aren't operators (e.g. *)  it won't let you paste.  And sometimes I've found other areas where it won't paste (particularly functions) for no reason I can figure out.
