The problem I have is that I forget that I have abbrevs defined in the
first place, for things I type. My problem is not (primarily) that I
forget exactly what a specific abbrev is. Abbrev suggestions would
simply remind me to use the ones I have. Like every habit that you try
to create, it takes time and effort. This feature would help me with
that, I think.
