--- Comment #5 from Agroni <as9902...@gmail.com> ---
I think it's more than individual.

Every industry has it's own sets of abbreviations. Medical doctors, dentists,
immigration lawyers, divorce lawyers, IT, programmers, CNC machining services,
etc, they all have abbreviations common to them. Yet on every official or
contractual document they have to include the definition of each abbreviation
in a table similar to bibliographic entries.

What we need to add this feature is a user interface where we manage
abbreviation entries on a local/remote/public/cloud database. There we would
add/edit/delete something like this:
LAN - Local Area Network
NAS - Network Attached Storage
...

On the other side where we type the content of the document, we would hit
CTRL-something and drop-down-list of abbreviations would show under the cursor.
This either act as autocomplete or as a simple list on which we use up/down
arrows and hit enter to select the abbreviation we want to insert.

Later when we generate all indexes and tables, the abbreviations table would
generate a table of used abbreviations only, in alphabetical order.
