Hi all,

I've installed and used SuperAbbrevs in the past, and recently re-installed it on a new machine after upgrading jEdit to 4.3pre9. I noticed that the option to "Expand Abbreviation" is now gone, and instead the only option available is to bring up a dialog box to type in the shortcut. Why was this removed? It seems cumbersome to me to force a mode switch, breaking the flow as I'm typing. It's simply not as fluid as the type-then-expand strategy.

This happens in the two latest versions available on SourceForge, so I reverted all the way back to 0.01 and it has the "Expand Abbreviation" option. However, it will not run under 4.3, presumably the jEdit API has changed (I'm not a jEdit expert), as attempting to tab from the inside of the snippet to the end throws the following error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.gjt.sp.jedit.textarea.JEditTextArea.getBuffer()Lorg/gjt/sp/jedit/Buffer;

        ... (40 more lines snipped)

(I'm using Java 1.5.0_06 on XP SP2, in case this is a bug I'm not aware of)

Any plans to bring this feature back, or is it gone for good?

Thanks...
