thanks. Interesting solution.
Before i redefine my stuff, i did some more testing on my original
question.
i tried to go to scheme-mode and apparantly the abbrev does not work,
but only in emacs-lisp-mode.
if i'm in scheme-mode and i call define-mode-abbrev, it generate this
code:
(define-abbrev-table 'scheme-mode-abbrev-table
'(
("ttt" "hhh" nil 0)
))
So, my question is probably caused by unnecessarily looking under the
hood.
