Description

Coming from atom this is a feature that i miss.

When wrapping with abbreviation you could use the up and down arrows to go through previously used abbreviations.

So if you had created a long abbreviation and it was slightly wrong or you wanted to reuse you wouldn't have to type it out all over again.
