Hi, I am somewhat lost, perhaps because I am using the trial copy of BBEdit, the evaluation period is over, and I don't know how to use text completion with BBEdit (the manual is rather obscure to me).
What I have used with TextWrangler for many years and now with BBEdit is the "BBAutoComplete" application. You have to "tune" what to consider words (my labels in Latex use ":"), assign a command to the application (mine is Control-tab), type a few letters (e.g., in Latex my labels for equations always start with "equ:") and eventually invoke the command several times until the one you are looking for appears. BBEditAutoComplete is freeware, and I am in no way related to them: <http://c-command.com/bbautocomplete/> Best, Nestor =============================================== > On 9 Jan 2017, at 06:49, Adrian Manea <adrian.c.ma...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey Chris, > > Thank you very much for the reply and the script. > > Since I'm an almost complete beginner in the Apple Script world, relying only > on bbpackages and pre-made extensions, could you please help further?
