I think that could be quite 'unsafe' to trigger without an explicit command. The whole point of noremap is to ignore all user customisations so that Vim behaves completely predictably. Expanding abbreviations would undermine this. It wouldn't be so bad in insert mode as in command mode, but it still would be bad. But if <C-]> is a command to expand an abbreviation, then indeed, it should surely do so even for a noremap, as that is its function! I would say it's a bug that that doesn't work. > 2.

IMHO it should never insert itself. I would agree with that. If it's a command, it should be a command; if it's not a command, it should insert itself; it shouldn't decide on the spur of the moment which it wants to be. I'd probably call that a bug too. My Vim exhibits the same behaviours. Ben.
