Hello Lyle,
Thanks for link, I indeed do not know the right term for this.
However, abbrevs (and Hippie Expand) seem less powerful or
practical than http://www.emacswiki.org/SnippetMode or yasnippet,
notably because it seems they can't easily manage cursor position
and "mirrors".
As an example, using the "case" snippets for lists, defined as:
#name : case - case for Lists
# --
case ${1:X}s
of nil then $2
[] $1|$1r then $0
end
Typing case <TAB> Y <TAB> nil <TAB> {F Y} expands to
case Ys
of nil then nil
[] Y|Yr then {F Y}
end
Is this possible with abbrevs? How?
