Well, actually I was using vim, and although I know how to configure shortcuts like that; do we really want to force people to use shortcuts and abbreviations to be able to sanely edit the ABI code? Isn't that counterproductive with the desire to get the maintainers fixing up their own ABIs? Plus all the extra verbiage tends to make the lines too long (80-column limit) and makes it harder to read.
