Abbrevs
Each abbrev is 1 to 4 letters. Abbrev expands to full function name, then it expands to function template of that function.
For example, here's some of the single-letter abbrevs:
- d → defun
- i → insert
- l → let
- m → message
- p → point
- s → setq
- w → when
type “d”, press space, it become “defun”, press space again, and it becomes
(defun ▮ () "DOCSTRING" (interactive) (let (VAR) ))
