Re: Unable to clear abbreviations

There was only one buffer open at the time. To confirm, I opened another groovy file and tried the specified command and got the response "E474: Invalid argument". The command is accepted with the argument but it does no good.

All those abbreviations seem to be buffer-local insert-mode
abbreviations. What happens if you make sure the file to which they
apply is the current editfile, and then use

        :iabclear <buffer>
        :verbose abbr

? (type <buffer> just like that: 8 characters)

Best regards,
Tony.

develop.
