I want to do some abbreviations that contain colons, but it doesn’t work in vimrc:

ab t:u unsigned

I get a syntax error. I tried \: and \\:\ but it didn’t work.

How can I do this?

    This has to do with vim’s keyword recognition. Maybe it is a bug or not. Inserting : to the list iskeyword will make the abbreviation of yours possible. But it can cause unexpected side effects navigating your C.

    Other possibility is to check snipMate or other similar plugin to provide templates.
