Expanding an Abbreviation
There are two ways to expand an abbreviation; one way is with a hotkey, the other is via
the
Manage Abbreviations dialog box, as this section describes.
Using the hotkey
1. Move the text caret to the appropriate location in your code.
2. Using your keyboard, enter the appropriate abbreviation.
3. Press Ctrl+B to expand the abbreviation to its expansion at the caret position.
Using the Manage Abbreviations Dialog Box
1. Select Manage Abbreviations from the Edit menu to display the Abbreviations dia-
log box.
2. Perform either of the following two actions:
– Enter the abbreviation in the Abbreviation combo box.
– Click the Abbreviation combo boxdown arrow and select the appropriate abbrevi-
ation name from the pop-up list. The
Expansion box displays the expansion of
the selected abbreviation.
3. Click the Insert in File button. The expansion of the selected abbreviation is inserted
at the text caret position.
Because the Abbreviations dialog is nonmodal, you can use Insert in File to insert the
expansions of abbreviations across many files that belong to a project. Essentially, while
the
Abbreviations dialog remains open, you are allowed to open any file, move the text
caret anywhere in that file, and insert the selected abbreviation.
