I tried the above. It threw errors at first because the last two
instances of javascript-mode-abbrev-table seem to need quoting. When I
quote those I still don't get the desired snippet behavior when I type
"for" and then space. I tired many simpler combinations also that
didn't involve the unless statement. No luck either. Does the above
code really work for you?
I can get snippets working with python mode.
I have a python-snippets.el file with the following
; -------------------------------------------------
(snippet-with-abbrev-table 'python-mode-abbrev-table
("for" . "for $${element} in $${sequence}:")
("im" . "import $$")
("if" . "if $${True}:")
("wh" . "while $${True}:")
)
(provide 'python-snippets)
; --------------------------------------------------
and then in my .emacs file I have just the following because the
python mode file defines the abbrev table
; -------------------------------------------------
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(abbrev-mode 1)
(require 'snippet)
(require 'python-snippets)
)
)
; -------------------------------------------------
Any ideas why the JavaScript version doesn't work?
Thanks,
Peter
