Thanks Andy, the <C-V> trick is very useful. The second abbreviation
too, but I don't want to enter all my abbreviations like this. I would
prefer use an autocommand like
au AbbrExpandPre * <C-G>u
... but I guess that's impossible since there is no event
AbbrExpandPre, and the command should be an ex command, which shows
the problem: AbbrExpandPre couldn't be an autocommand because insert
mode is never left.
Doe anybody have a good (even better) solution to my problem?
Thanks in advance, Roald
