My (global-abbrev-table) includes: "foo" 1 "find outer otter" (I checked to make sure that foo expanded to "find outer otter.") When I start to enter "find outer otter," and no matter how many letters I enter, including the entire phrase, there are no suggestions in the echo area. If I understand the info entries for abbrev-suggest and abbrev-suugest-hint-threshold, should not a hint show in the echo area, even after I type the first "f?"

That's my understanding as well, but tried it and doesn't work (also Emacs 28.0.50). If nobody comes with an explanation for this consider reporting it as a bug (M-x report-emacs-bug). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
