Autoclose plugin breaks abbreviations expansion

[Matteo Riva]

I have installed the vim autoclose plugin[1] which is quite useful but
due to the remapping of <Space> now insert mode abbreviations aren't
expanded anymore (must do it with CTRL-]).

Is it possible to have both functionalities together?

Are you sure it is autocloses fault? This plugin doesn't remap <space>
for me.

It does (line 456 of plugin/AutoClose.vim):

inoremap <buffer> <silent> <Space> <C-R>=<SID>Space()<CR>

also if I disable the plugin, abbreviations work fine.

This must be a differen AutoClose plugin not the one you mentioned
in your first message:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2009

This only has 189 lines (and doesn't remap <space>).

You are right, there are apparently two plugins with that name and I'm
using this one: https://github.com/Townk/vim-autoclose

I might try the other one, although the automatic insertion of space is
nice.

I have no access to github currently, but you could open an issue
at github, requesting that the mapping of space should always prepend a
<c-]> to expand abbreviations (this needs at least patch 7.3.489, otherwise
it is quite un-useful).
