I create the abbreviation, new script, and press ctrl+shift+a but nothing happens.
If I edit > insert abbreviations it shows me the list and executes the selection abbreviation. Does anyone else see this? My first thought is that some program is reserving those keystrokes.
I use abbreviation all the time, but I changed the hotkey to Ctrl+D, and everything works. SOmetimes, when I add new abbreviation if I type this:
s = spinner spn_| “” …
the abbreviation don’t works, because the proper sintaxis is:
s=spinner spn_| “” …
Also, if I type in the script sp and press ctrl+D again nothing happens, because I don’t have abbreviation sp.
Check for such type of errors.
Are you using 2014?
I edited my gobal options file to read…
# User defined key commands
user.shortcuts=\
Ctrl+Shift+V|IDM_PASTEANDDOWN|\
Ctrl+PageUp|IDM_PREVFILE|\
Ctrl+PageDown|IDM_NEXTFILE|
Ctrl+D|IDM_INS_ABBREV|
my appreviations editor looks like this
dave=hello
I saved > new > dave > ctrl+d
nothing still. Am I doing something wrong?
ITS WORKING NOW
In some kind of dyslexic ADD trance, my mind had been translating CTRL+SHIFT+A as CTRL+SHIFT+E
Story of my life! Glad it’s working now though, thank you!!
