modifier keys and abbreviations?

[jkn]

Hi all

    a simple question - is it possible to use CTRL, ALT etc modifiers within abbreviation definitions?

I would like to have eg. CTRL+ALT+o  (followed by ;;) expand to something. My initial experiment didn't work and I wondered if this was known/intended.

Thanks a lot, Jon N

I wouldn't say it was intended. But why not just bind an @command node to your desired text? That @command node could trigger Leo's abbreviation logic, if you really need it. Otherwise, the @command node could insert static text.

Hi Edward - yes, I appreciate that will probably work, it was going to be my next experiment. Having it as an abbreviation was mostly about keeping similar things together, as it were.

Thanks, Jon
