I use Text Expander quite a lot for simple things in LaTeX.
However if i want to send curly brackets this doesnt work except when i select 'Send raw Text'.
I preferably dont want to use Send raw text so i can set a cursor location.
For example:

\begin{equation}\label{%Cursor%}

\end{equation}

results in:


\beginlabel

end


any solutions?

Code: Select all

{{}
{}}
The following characters have a special meaning in FastKeys:
^ - Ctrl key,
! - Alt key,
+ - Shift key,
# - Win key.
This allows sending not only text but also other actions. To send those characters you need to enclose them in braces, like {^}, {!}, {+}, {#} or select Send Raw Text option. Braces needs to be enclosed in braces too, like {{}.
