Sorry I wasn't clearer - you still need to add a list of things to the module 
to complete. (Also, don't forget that if you edit your language module, you 
have to quit and relaunch BBEdit for the changes to take effect.)

To add a list of predefined names, use the "BBLMPredefinedNameList" key:

BBLMPredefinedNameList

John Lennon
Paul McCartney
George Harrison
Ringo Starr


(NOTE: These won't be colored correctly because of the spaces, and I don't 
actually know :-) whether they'll behave as desired for completion, but if they 
don't, please write to Tech Support.)

Thanks for the tip on how to enable text completion! However, it still 
doesn't appear to be working for me. I added those lines to the language 
PLIST file, but perhaps I did something wrong? I will attach the PLIST file 
for your inspection. Oh, and I do have a paid license through an App Store 
subscription.

Also, how so I add character names as predefined symbols?

Thanks!
Shawn

Re: Custom Completion List?

[Rich Siegel]

Since you have a custom language module, make sure that it specifies that it 
supports completion:

BBLMSupportsTextCompletion


(And of course, completion isn't available in Free Mode, but if you have a paid 
license or active Mac App Store subscription, that won't be the issue here.)

As to the character names: offhand, I'm thinking that you could add your 
character names as predefined symbols in the language module. That way, 
completion would present them to you as such. (Multi-word names with spaces in 
them can be a challenge, though.)

Auto-replacement using external tools (TypeIt4Me, Text Expander, Typinator, 
etc) might be an option, as well.

Good luck,

R.
