Hi all,
I just discovered pabbrev-mode
(http://homepages.cs.ncl.ac.uk/phillip.lord/download/emacs/pabbrev.el),
which seems really great, but in org-mode (5.09) the suggestions don't
show up until i press TAB twice (meaning that if there are several
suggestions, I have to press 0-9 to choose one each time). Does anyone
know of a way to get it to work alright with org-mode? (I understand that
the TAB key is "taken" for view-cycling when in headlines, but I can't see
any good reason why the suggestions shouldn't automatically show up in
org-mode...)

I am curious if you find this useful after a while, Phillip himself
says that it is more useful for programming than for writing text.
It works much better for repetitive text than for expressive text.
I *think* you need to add org-self-insert-command and (if you
use orgtbl-mode) orgtbl-selt-insert-command to the list in
pabbrev-expand-after-command-list.

Well, I use org-mode for taking notes while reading, and for psychology
texts eg. it's really nice not having to write "suprachiasmatic" out every
time (plus, in Norwegian, as in German, compound nouns get bunched
together into one word).

Thanks lots, this works great :-)

For specific long words, I find the default binding of M-/ extremely useful.
It doesn't get in your way, yet it's there for every buffer when you need it.
