Use keymap.set over cmd.inoreabbrev

'ia' as the mode is an insert mode abbreviation, since a while ago - not sure when exactly: vim.keymap.set('ia', '--', '#', { buffer = true })

Or if you want to have fun,

vim.iter {
  true = 'True',
  false = 'False',
  ['--'] = '#',
  null = 'None',
  none = 'None',
  nil = 'None',
}:each(function(lhs, rhs)
  vim.keymap.set('ia', lhs, rhs, { buffer = true })
end)

Or

local iabbrev = function(lhs, rhs)
  vim.keymap.set('ia', lhs, rhs, { buffer = true })
end
iabbrev('true', 'True')
iabbrev('false', 'False')
iabbrev('--', '#')
iabbrev('null', 'None')
iabbrev('none', 'None')
iabbrev('nil', 'None')

oh nice, I didn't know about that one.

Could it be that you are on nightly though? I am on 0.9.2, and trying ia as mode results in an error for me

edit: yep, it's only supported on nightly

I will probably leave at as vim.cmd.iabbr until around nvim 0.11.

Update to using keymap.set as nvim 0.10 has been released.

(Not using vim.iter to keep it simple for new users :) )
