I presented a simplified version of what I want. I actually have several abbreviations and I want <C-y> to work with all of them. For example :iabbrev CUC <NL>cucumber :iabbrev TOM <NL>tomato CUC<C-y> where '<C-y>' means pressing Ctrl-y , must insert a newline and then 'cucumber'. TOM<C-y> must insert a newline and then 'tomato'. And so forth for all the other abbreviations. So my best effort so far is :inoremap <C-y> <ESC>B"gd$a<C-r>=substitute(maparg(@g , "i" , 1) , '<' . 'NL>' , "\n" , "")<CR> It is possible that my abbreviations will contain other special characters beside <NL> so I'd rather not have to substitute for each case. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
