What version of BBEdit are you using? The instructions above should work in BBEdit 9.x (and I *think* 8.x, too). Are you sure you set your "text completion" trigger to "after a delay in typing"? I have mine set to come up after a delay in typing, so I type p_class, wait about a half-second for the popup, and then just hit enter (or tab). My completion trigger is command-d, so if I switch that setting from "delay" to "manually", I'd just hit command-d instead of waiting for the popup. If you don't like command-d, you can change your completion trigger to whatever you want under Preferences->Menus. Twiddle out 'Edit', scroll down to 'Complete', and use the 'Set Key' button on the right to change the trigger. Also, the clippings are language sensitive, so you have to make sure you're in an HTML document for this to work. Hope this helps. --Kerri -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
