[Bug] delimitMate doesn't work well with input abbreviations about delimitmate

[Raimondi]

This is a side effect of using inoremap to set the mappings. A workaround would be to set delimitMate_autoclose to 0, read :help delimitMateAutoclose.

I'll try to find a solution, but it might take a while.

<C-]> could be helpful. It expands the abbreviation immediately in and keeps the insert mode.

[Raimondi]

That it's nice, I put a note on the documentation about this. I can't use <C-]> in my mapping because I'd have to detect if an abbreviation precedes the paren, otherwise a ^] is inserted in the buffer, which is kind of problematic.

Thanks for your feedback!

I'm reopening this because I think it can be done from the delimitMate end. We'll see.

This bug also prevents abbreviations from expanding after typing <Space>, which is quite annoying.

[Raimondi]

It's the same problem, when delimitMate_expand_space is set to 1, is mapped to enable this feature.

[Raimondi]

Given the different forms that abbreviations have, I can't implement a reliable way to fix this problem. So, I have placed the note on the documentation and I'll consider it closed.

If somebody else has can provide a fix, I'll more than happy to apply it.
