Abbreviations *are* the cat's pajamas. Definitely a great feature to have. 
My double comma shortcut is working correctly.

Unfortunately abbreviations are notoriously difficult to set up.

Two settings need to be present in your myLeoSettings.py under your 
@settings node:

@bool enable-abbreviations = True

@bool scripting-abbreviations = True


In addition you need a "@data abbreviations" node (this can be found in 
leo\config\exampleSettings.leo) under your @settings node which contains :

# special case, causes core to select next place holder for editing
,,={|{x='__NEXT_PLACEHOLDER'}|}


And for the funner more advanced abbreviations you need "@data 
abbreviations-subst-env" from leoSettings.leo under your @settings node.

If ensuring you have those in place doesn't work we need to get Terry 
involved, but hopefully it shouldn't come to that.
