suppress insertion of SPC after SPC expands abbrev

suppress insertion of SPC after SPC expands abbrev

[Benjamin Rutt]

I want to prevent the SPC from getting inserted when an abbrev is
expanded, much like C-x ' does.

The following thread from 1992 discusses this:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=WMESARD.92Sep4121833%40tofu.oracle.com&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26q%3Demacs%2Babbrev%2Bsuppress%2Bspace%26btnG%3DSearch

None of those solutions looked very clean.  Is there any way in
current emacs to do this?

Why not bound SPC to something like:

(defun expand-abbrev-or-self-insert ()
   (interactive)
   (or (expand-abbrev) (insert last-command-char)))

Thanks, that works nicely.

Look into:

The 'no-self-insert property of the tempo-template-* defuns. Does that help?

Yes, that helps a great deal.  I simply define my abbrev functions by
name (rather than anonymous) and give them the 'no-self-insert
property.  I think this is the cleanest solution, thanks.
