Title: Defining Abbreviations with non alpha-num chars
Post by: ahagele on January 27, 2016, 11:57:31 pm

I'm used to have some keyboard shortcut to add little text blocks. Like a fixme line get a // .??. comment at the end.
I don't seem to be able to set a keyboard shortcut in C::B to do that.
So I tried the Abbreviations settings. However if I add a keyword like ?? to expand into the above nothing happens.
It seems that any non-alpha-numeric char does not work.

Is there a reason for that? Is there a way to get around this?

I don't know. The fastest way will be to check the code of the abbreviations plugin.

i have looked into it, and found a "fix"

i am still not 100% sure, why it was implemented as it is, but my tests show, that it is working with this patch.

greetings

That is correct, there is no need to look only for words here.

Applied in SVN. Thank you!
