Abbreviations are currently grouped by mode, e.g. one set for HTML, another for XSL,
another for Python, etc or global, i.e. available to all modes. If I want to use the
same abbrev in more than one mode, I have to manually recreate for each additional
mode. Putting the abbrev in the global modespace fails when there is more than one
definition for an abbrev, i.e. I might want to expand "tr" as a table row tag in HTML
and XSL but expand to something else in Python or SQL.
I would like to be able to assign abbrevs to multiple modes, or create multi-mode
abbrev sets, e.g. Python mako templates, which are a combination of HTML and Python
code, could define a new mode "Mako HTML" to which abbrevs from both the Python and
HTML abbrev sets are assigned, or possibly "add" modes to existing abbrevs?
Not sure what would be the best way to implement this idea, and my jEdit plugin dev
skills are negligible, but I'd be happy to work with someone to define and test it.
