title: How to remove space at the end of a cab abbreviation and wait for input in GVim?
body: <p>I have created a Vim abbreviation for the start of a file path, i.e.</p>
  
  <pre><code>cab  \x\     M:\xmlexport\Output\
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I want to have this expand, remove the space and wait for further input. I have tried using <code>=Eatchar('s')</code> but don't know what to put before it to make it trigger correctly. All the examples I have seen use <code>&lt;C-R&gt;</code> which adds in a new line. I have tried <code>&lt;left&gt;</code> just to move back one space but this creates <code>M:\xmlexport\Output \</code></p>
