Released zsh-abbr v6.5.0. Most notably, the command line-processing features that let it expand text and place the cursor as you type are now available outside the plugin.

abbr-expand-line processes text input and populates an associative array with data that can answer questions like "would zsh-abbr expand an abbreviation?" and "what would the LBUFFER and RBUFFER be like after hitting the spacebar".

abbr-set-line-cursor does the work of zsh-abbr's opt-in "if text didn't expand, move the cursor to a marker" feature.

Technically a refactor, but for would-be extension authors it should open doors.

Released two zsh-abbr features I'm excited about last week (v6.4.0):

You can customize the abbreviation delimiters (with caveats, makes it possible to expand abbreviation inside parenthesis and quotation marks). Write-up: https://github.com/olets/zsh-abbr/pull/198

And you can expand "regular" abbreviations in command position anywhere on the line not just in the first command position (experimental opt-in). Write-up: https://github.com/olets/zsh-abbr/pull/197

v6 of zsh-abbr, the zsh manager for auto-expanding abbreviations, is out 🎉Excited to ship a bunch of new features

Highlights:

🆕 History: optionally save abbreviations to your shell history
🆕 Prefixes: strings and globs that can precede regular abbreviations. Now you can `sudo <my regular abbreviation>`
🆕 Reminders: optionally get "you could have used your abbreviation …" notices
