Access to the jEdit variables from SuperAbbrevs template

Question

I wonder if there is any way how to access jEdit variables (like the buffer variable) from the beanshell inside SuperAbbrevs plugin template.

When I try to expand following template, the error Attempt to resolve method: getName() on undefined variable or class name: buffer appears int Activity log.

<#= buffer.getName() #>

When I try to run this code in the BeanShell console then it displays the current buffer name:

buffer.getName()

Is it possible to access buffer name from the SuperAbbrevs template?

As far as I can see from a quick look at that plugins sources, those variables are not forwarded to the templates. Only the variables you define in the options of the plugin and additionally filename and selection.

In your example filename is exactly what you want, so <#= filename #> works for inserting the name of the file. If you would need more, you would probably need to issue a plugin feature request.
