this is a odd thing.
when in emacs-lisp-mode, and when you define a abbrev (e.g. call
define-mode-abbrev then “ah” then “add-hook”), then call write-abbrev-
file
then you get this in your abbrev file (e.g. at 〔~/.emacs.d/
abbrev_defs〕)
(define-abbrev-table 'lisp-mode-abbrev-table '(
("ah" "add-hook" nil 0)
))
note that it's lisp-mode-abbrev-table not emacs-lisp-mode-abbrev-
table.
Why's that?
(if you change it to the latter, it won't work.)
i'm wondering because i want the abbrev to be for emacs-lisp-mode
only, not general lisp mode.
It appears that emacs-lisp-mode is defined on top of lisp-mode. Ok, so
my question is, what's the purpose of lisp-mode? Is that supposed to
be the base for other lisp lang modes to be defined on top of? A look
at scheme-mode seems to confirm this, but still, i want my abbrev for
emacs lisp mode only. Is that possible?
thanks.
