Hi Vincent,
An abbreviation cannot begin with a non-keyword character and end in more than
one keyword character, thus <method is illegal, as is !method or %method, etc.
Maybe try ':iabbrev <method> ...' instead.
>From the manual:
Examples of strings that cannot be abbreviations: "a.b", "#def", "a b", "_$r"
See ':help abbreviations' for more information.
regards,
Peter
