The title of this post plays off past titles by new users. I've just had an email exchange with a new user who was thoroughly confused with abbreviations. Basically he just wanted to use the hl;; abbreviation for inserting the headline text into a body but could get them working. This is no surprise as the information regarding getting abbreviations working is spread across five different locations:
- YouTube - http://leoeditor.com/abbreviations.html - http://leoeditor.com/commands - leoSettings.leo - exampleSettings.leo. No single location provides all the necessary information to make full use of abbreviations. Furthermore it is impossible to get to abbreviations.html from the leo search (this bug is documented). My proposal is to enable abbreviations AND scripting-abbreviations by default to help spread their use. They're very useful and very powerful. I don't see how they are any more of a security risk that Ctrl+B (exec current node). Assuming a malicious contributor was able to sneak in a dangerous abbreviation it would be highly unlikely that a user would accidentally type in even something as simple as a;; to execute it.
