Auto Text Settings

This section discusses the options displayed on the Auto Text tab for a file type. For more information on Auto Text, please see Chapter 5, Editing Files, Text Completion.

Detect Auto Text Trigger

This field determines the ôtriggerö text that should be detected when typing in the code editor. The list displays the currently defined triggers. Selecting an item from the list updates the contents of the Detect Auto Text Trigger and Prompt to Replace With fields.

Prompt to Replace With

This field determines the text that can be used to replace the detected ôtriggerö. The length of the replacement text is not limited by the size of the trigger text.

Add

Click Add to update the Auto Text trigger using the Detect Auto Text Trigger and Prompt to Replace With fields. If the trigger is not displayed in the list, it is added at the end.

Delete

Click Delete to delete the Auto Text trigger highlighted in the Detect Auto Text Trigger list. The previous item in the list is then selected, updating the prompt and trigger fields.

Display Auto Text for Language Keywords

This option displays the Auto Text prompt when the first 3 characters of a language keyword are typed in the code editor.

Note

Auto Text checks for keyword matches before expression triggers.
