two comma presses == no change?!

[jkn]

I'm more curious than anything...

If I press the comma ',' key twice in succession, the first character placed in the body text by the first press, gets deleted on the second press!

I don't know of any setting, command, or abbreviation that I have that might be causing this - any thoughts?

Thanks, J^n

See @string abbreviations-next-placeholder = ,,

Arguably the behavior you describe should only happen when expanding abbreviation.

Ah, right, thanks - that makes sense.

I think you are right that it should only happen when expanding abbreviations, but I can live with it - I was just curious...

If, for some reason I might need 2 commas in succession, my workaround is to type `, ,` (inserted space between commas). Then I simply backspace and delete the space character. The only time I have actually done this is to document my abbreviations. HTH

Rob...

I do the same. The occurrence is rare enough that I am surprised when I encounter the original behaviour - at the moment I treat it as an amusing quirk ...

Or type one comma, backspace, and type the other comma :-)
