:iabbrev CUC <NL>cucumber :inoremap <C-y> CUC<space> But when I press Ctrl-y I get 'CUC ' i.e. the CUC does not get expanded. I tried
:inoremap <C-y> CUC<Esc> and :inoremap <C-y> CUC<C-]> but no dice. Then I tried :inoremap <C-y> CUC<ESC>B"gd$a<C-r>=maparg(@g , "i" , 1)<CR> which does expand the abbreviation but it gives the 4 characters in "<NL>" instead of an actual newline (plus it overwrites the g register). Then I tried :inoremap <C-y> CUC<ESC>B"gd$a<C-r>=substitute(maparg(@g , "i" , 1) , '<' . 'NL>' , "\n" , "")<CR> which finally works. Note the '<' . 'NL>' instead of '<NL>' so that we don't get an actual newline in the mapping. Is there a more straightforward solution ? -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
