Subject: Questions about abbrev

Message-ID: <16995004.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)


Hi,
I am trying to get abbrev to work. I added this to my .emacs:

(setq abbrev-file-name "~/.emacs-config/abbrev_defs") ;; definitions from .
..
(setq save-abbrevs t)
(quietly-read-abbrev-file)
(abbrev-mode 1)
(setq default-abbrev-mode t)

Now I create a abbrev with C-x a g

Should abbrev now replace the abbrevation I just typed in?
And, when I later type the abbrevation, it is not replaced.
What am I missing?

Thanks!
Nathan
