superAbbrevs: How to break out of a macro?
Submitted by malibu on Monday, 8 January, 2007 - 17:30
Hi there.. I understand that superAbbrevs doesn't support nested macros. However, I was wondering if people could tell me what they are doing in the following situation:

If we have a macro like the following (Perl):

foreach $1 ($2) {
$3
}$end

Given that there is no nesting, how do I break out of the macro when my cursor is at $3 so that I can add another one? The only way I've found is to go to $end, type a space, and then arrow back inside the brackets. If I could just press 'ESC' to get out of the macro with the cursor at that point, it would be awesome. I'm not sure if I would even need nesting at that point. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Right now there is no action to get you out of abbreviation mode. But I'm going to add that when I get the time. The esc key should take you out of abbreviation mode, don't you think?

At the moment I would make the abbreviation like this:

foreach $1 ($2) {
$end
}
