Upon escaping evil-insert-state, if the cursor is next to a letter/phrase in my abbrev list, it expands despite having 

(setq evil-want-abbrev-expand-on-insert-exit nil)

called before evil-mode. This happens even if abbrev-mode is disabled.

How do I prevent abbrev expansion when exiting evil-insert-state?

Thanks.

  • Chances are you're doing it incorrectly, like by enabling another Evil-related package before that setting. Figuring out what exactly is going wrong is hard for us, as we don't have access to your specific Emacs environment. – wasamasa Jan 24 '19 at 16:07

Thanks for the reply, @wasamasa. Seeing your reply, I moved 

(setq evil-want-abbrev-expand-on-insert-exit nil)

to the line before

(use-package evil
        :ensure t).

(Previously, it was before (evil-mode 1) but after the use-package command.)

The abbrev expansions now work as expected. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

  • You should read the `use-package` documentation because it most certainly covers how to do configuration *before* loading a package. – wasamasa Jan 25 '19 at 09:19
