Hello

I just installed FastKeys yesterday, so I would like to ask for some indulgence if I do not yet understand certain things correctly.

I work a lot with Latex and would like to achieve the following with TextExpander:

Text: ac ---> User Input: bmw ---> Output: \ac{bmw}

I create a TextExpnader maco with the following content:

Code: Select all

\ac{%INPUT_ACRONYM%}
An input form appears correctly, I then enter bmw there, but only \ac is outputed.

Curly brackets (braces) have a special meaning in FastKeys. To show them correctly you need to enclose them in braces too, like {{}.

Code: Select all

\ac{{}%INPUT_ACRONYM%{}}
