I think the abbreviation definition would be:
th;;=TODO<||> :Home:
This works when editing the headline of an existing node, but not when
editing the headline of a node just created with Insert. So Leo is in
some subtly different state in this case which I don't really think the
abbreviation code can be blamed for.
