Yes, I have already got it. :)

And, yes, your suggestion does work *on abbreviations*,
at least on simple tests I made right now...

However, it does not work on imaps that I use in the cases
where the corresponding abbreviations never work. Even if
I change inoremap to imap...

Well, you may say: "It is not supposed to." And will be right. :(

Sorry, for unintentionally mixing those two cases together... :(

And, to separate them, I need a few more days to more carefully
look what is going on when I work with all my abbreviations.

Probably, solving the problem of never working abbreviations
described (and discussed) in another thread will be enough
(as in that case I will be able to change all my imaps to
abbreviations).
