Hi Shawn, Here is a Shawn.plist that follows Rich's recommendations and seems to work regarding completions.
There was a misconfiguration in the .plist I originally posted. Sorry for that. Apparently the key defining 'Identifier and Keyword Characters' prevented BBEdit from displaying completions. The key: <key>Identifier and Keyword *Characters*</key> <string>\S</string> is now replaced by: <key>Identifier and Keyword *Character Class*</key> <string>\S</string> I also note that you changed the Number Pattern. Be aware that <[\d+]> is a regular expression that will only match a single decimal or a '+' sign in between angle brackets (i.e., <0>, ..., <9>, <+>) : <key>Number Pattern</key> <string><![CDATA[(?x) * < [\d+] >* ]]></string> If what you want to match is someting in the form <123,456> then this pattern is more appropriate: <key>Number Pattern</key> <string><![CDATA[(?x) * < [\d,]+? >* ]]></string> HTH, Jean Jourdain -- Shawn.plist ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>BBEditDocumentType</key> <string>CodelessLanguageModule</string> <key>BBLMColorsSyntax</key> <true/> <key>BBLMIsCaseSensitive</key> <true/> <key>BBLMSupportsTextCompletion</key> <false/> <key>BBLMPredefinedNameList</key> <array> <string>John Lennon</string> <string>Paul McCartney</string> <string>George Harrison</string> <string>Ringo Starr</string> <string>Beyoncé With Accent</string> </array> <key>BBLMLanguageCode</key> <string>SHAW</string> <key>BBLMLanguageDisplayName</key> <string>Shawn</string> <key>BBLMScansFunctions</key> <false/> <key>BBLMFunctionScannerDoesFoldsToo</key> <false/> <key>BBLMSuffixMap</key> <array> <dict> <key>BBLMLanguageSuffix</key> <string>.shawn</string> </dict> </array> <key>Language Features</key> <dict> <key>Close Block Comments</key> <false/> <key>Close Statement Blocks</key> <false/> <key>End-of-line Ends Strings 1</key> <false/> <key>End-of-line Ends Strings 2</key> <false/> <key>Escape Char in Strings 1</key> <string>\</string> <key>Escape Char in Strings 2</key> <string>\</string> <key>Identifier and Keyword Character Class</key> <string>\S</string> <key>Open Block Comments</key> <false/> <key>Open Line Comments</key> <false/> <key>Open Statement Blocks</key> <false/> <key>Close Strings 1</key> <false/> <key>Close Strings 2</key> <false/> <key>Open Strings 1</key> <false/> <key>Open Strings 2</key> <false/> <key>Number Pattern</key> <string><![CDATA[(?x) < [\d,]+? > ]]></string> <key>String Pattern</key> <string><![CDATA[(?x) ( “(\\“|[^”])*?” (?# Double-curly-quote) | "(\\"|[^"])*?"
