Yeah, autocomplete in raw mode autocompletes the macro, and autocomplete in regular mode will autocomplete the expansion of the macro if it's been used in the document already. You nailed it - what I was suggesting was that autocomplete in regular mode should autocomplete the macro name for macros and insert the macro if chosen, and not offer the expanded version as a choice. It means I could insert macros without being in macro editing mode, by choosing them in the autocomplete. It might be confusing though, if the macro is 'foo' and I type all of 'foo', but don't choose the expansion in the autocomplete, I'd just get "foo" and not whatever it expands to... is there a better way to handle that case? -mike > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA > -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise > -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation > -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD > http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H > _______________________________________________ > Bibdesk-develop mailing list > Bibdesk-develop@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-develop > -- Michael McCracken UCSD CSE PhD Candidate research: http://www.cse.ucsd.edu/~mmccrack/ misc: http://michael-mccracken.net/wp/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-develop mailing list Bibdesk-develop@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-develop
