Oooooh I get it. This is a NEW question. To avoid expanding an abbreviation, simply type <C-V> before the space. Or hit <C-C> to leave insert mode without expanding the abbreviation. Or use <C-G>u to drop an undo point and prevent the abbreviation from expanding when you continue typing. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
