[AUCTeX] abbrev-mode and bibtex-mode

[Tyler Smith]

Hi,

I'm trying to use some abbrevs in BibTex mode. When visiting my
.bib file, I use the C-x a l command to define a mode-specific
abbreviation. However, when I save the abbreviations, the abbrevs
defined from within BibTex mode are listed as abbrevs for
fundamental-mode. How do I define abbrevs so that they are active only
when I'm visiting a .bib file?

The .abbrevs_def file generated by my first experiment is copied
below. I tried manually changing the 'fundamental-mode-abbrev-table to
'bibtex-mode-abbrev-table, and also 'BibTex-mode-abbrev-table, but
neither one worked. Only the 'fundamental-mode-abbrev-table works, but
not just for .bib files, any file visited in fundamental mode.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks,

Tyler
