| May 1, 2019 at 14:20 | comment | added | The Pompitous of Love | I have revised the question so that @Rich's answers answer the question, for other users. I'll give you a couple of days if you want to post and answer, and I'll credit it to you. If no one else does by the end of the week, I will answer the question. | |

Revised the question so it is answerable, given the basic misunderstanding I had about the problem.

As Ralf suggests, the simple solution is to use inoreabbrev instead of imap. If you cannot use a simple iabbrev for a particular abbreviation, then there are ways around the redraw issue.

I still think you are confusing things. Please read :help abbreviations and :help key-mapping. Also :help 24.7 and :help 40.1 for a more general explanation of the two concepts.

What you describe only happens when you use imap instead of iab.
