Note that using <C-C> to quit insert mode means that abbreviations will not be expanded, and the InsertLeave autocmd does not fire.

The former makes some uses of abbreviations not usable for you, the latter makes some plugins not function properly.

You may want to map <C-C> in insert mode to first expand abbreviations with <C-]>, and maybe do any InsertLeave autocmds using a :doautocmd command.
