I will often want to expand a snippet after typing a quotation mark, so:
"{abbreviation}{delimiter}
TE treats the quotation mark as just another character and so doesn’t recognize the abbreviation. Is there a way to set some characters as to be ignored in expansion?
Hi William, can you share a screenshot of the Snippet in the Snippet Editor so I know for sure what it’s supposed to do?
Josh, it could be any snippet. Say a plain text snippet that expands in plain text an abbreviation into a word. I’m attaching a screenshot just in case. What I’d like to be able to do is type something like this:
Kant uses the verb "rep
and hit my delimiter (I use the equals sign) and have it expand. Currently, TE won’t do that because it treats the quotation mark as part of the abbreviation to be expanded. I’d love to be able to set a universal exclusion rule so that TE always ignores the quotation mark and expands. It does ignore an opening parenthesis, e.g. Is there a way to add the question mark to the list of characters it ignores?
Could you include the quotation mark in the Snippet content like so: "represent?
Josh, That’s an idea. It would involve creating a huge raft of secondary snippets with the quotation mark.
