Adding the % to a tag automatically in haml and only in haml

I asked about this previously here: Add the % on tab when working with HAML on vim

The solution there was okay, but it turns out that the function call is also being triggered in scss file types.

Here's what I currently have:

function! s:haml_settings()
  iabbrev h1        %h1
  iabbrev p         %p
  iabbrev section   %section
endfunction

autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.haml setlocal filetype=haml
autocmd FileType haml call <sid>haml_settings()

I'm pretty new to vim so please forgive me if I'm asking a noobie question.

How do I make sure this function is only called in HAML files? Or if that can't be accomplished, how can I remap it so it only fires when I press option-space before a given tag? I'm on a mac so I have an option key.

In other words: I'd like it if I could press p<space> then have the output be %p (with the space after it). Or I'd like to press p<option><space> and have it output the same %p)

I have tim popes vim-haml plugin, but it doesn't provide this kind of functionality.

Thanks!

I answered my own question, but I'll share with others in case they also run into this.

It appears the Auto Pairs plugin had been the culprit. Once I disabled this plugin, the space bar worked fine with abbreviations.

I discovered this by :verbose imap <space>, which pointed me directly to the source of the problem.

You must make your abbreviations local to the buffer:

iabbrev <buffer> h1 %h1

Or try a snippet engine like snipmate or utisnips.
