Have you ever been annoyed by an over-zealous cabbrev? A simple way to temporarily disable it is set invpaste. Very convenient in combination with the pastetoggle key.

Does anybody have a better way to disable cabbrev's? The Vim docs (a little above help abbreviate-local) say pressing <C-v> twice somewhere within the abbrev avoids expanding it. Doesn't work for me, though. Pressing <C-v><Space> works in the ':' prompt, but not while searching - what if I don't want to include a space in the pattern?
