Digraphs look like an awesome solution; I just need to add a few more
maps to the digraph table.
From first impressions, they look just as easy to use as abbreviations
(one extra keystroke), with the advantage that they also work with 't'
and 'f'.

How do they deal with a common prefix to two different digraphs, though?

Thanks for the link. Not sure I need this, but if I ever want it I'll
look again.
