How to *not* choose the abbreviation

[c0deaddict]

I like the idea of this plugin a lot and want to move change all my aliases to this. However, i'm stuck with one use case. Say i have an abbrev defined like this:

abbrev-alias -g gs="git status"

Typing gs<SPACE> or gs<ENTER> will expand the abbreviation, wonderful. But what if I want to run the command gs (ghostscript)? Is there a binding that will cancel the attempt to abbreviate?

[momo-lab]

try to <C-x><SPACE> or <C-x><ENTER>

[c0deaddict]

That works! Thank you :)

@momo-lab <C-x><SPACE> or <C-x><ENTER> doesn't work for me. Is there another alternative to avoid expanding an abbreviation?

Please tell me the execution result of the bindkey command.
It may be overwriting the settings created by this plugin.

# bindkey | grep "\^X" 
"^X^B" vi-match-bracket
"^X^F" vi-find-next-char
"^X^J" vi-join
"^X^K" kill-buffer
"^X^M" accept-line    # <- Need this line
"^X^N" infer-next-history
"^X^O" overwrite-mode
"^X^R" _read_comp
"^X^U" undo
"^X^V" vi-cmd-mode
"^X^X" exchange-point-and-mark
"^X " __abbrev_alias::no_magic_abbrev_expand    # <- Need this line
"^X*" expand-word
"^X=" what-cursor-position
"^X?" _complete_debug
"^XC" _correct_filename
"^XG" list-expand
"^Xa" _expand_alias
"^Xc" _correct_word

It seems I have the two lines, but I still unable to avoid the expand

$ bindkey | grep "\^X"
"^X^M" accept-line
"^X^R" _read_comp
"^X^S" prepend-sudo
"^X " __abbrev_alias::no_magic_abbrev_expand
"^X." fzf-tab-debug
"^X?" _complete_debug
"^XC" _correct_filename
"^Xa" _expand_alias
"^Xc" _correct_word
"^Xd" _list_expansions
"^Xe" _expand_word
"^Xh" _complete_help
"^Xm" _most_recent_file
"^Xn" _next_tags
"^Xt" _complete_tag
"^X~" _bash_list-choices

There seems to be no problem with the definition of bindkey.

Since abbrev-alias also registers alias gs ='git status' at the same time, the command equivalent to git status is executed even if gs<C-x><Enter>.
This technique only suppresses prompt expanding.

If you want to suppress the registration of alias, there are currently the following workarounds.

abbrev-alias gs ='git status'
unalias gs

[momo-lab]

If <C-x><Enter> key expands to the prompt, I can't think of a cause.
Sorry...

The problem with unalias gs is gs expand to git status when a press Enter or Space
