Just FYI, I can create email auto-completes here.
Perry, when you set this up, you're not doing anything with the mnemonic field are you?

It's all very enlightening! Here's another, recent, real-world developer's response to the issue of letters/numbers…
i've thought about adding letters.. it just seems like if it's not in your top 9 items, you are better off filtering the results by typing more rather than having to locate the 15th result.

Actually I  can't drag from KEdit into anything else either, so I'm going to say KEdit is to blame for this one. I  just tried to drag its text into this text box, and also Thunderbird with no luck.

I found testing with KEdit useful. It's such a finicky little SOB with keyboard events it really made me tighten up the code.  >:(
Heck, I owe you another apology. You're right, Kedit will only do drag/drop within itself. D-d is something that I hardly ever use.

[aside]
Well, I'm stuck in a time warp with Rexx and I can do what I want with Kedit without having to think about it.
I'm just starting out with an IDE for something else and it has a raft of (to me) entirely unintuitive, yet fixed, key bindings. I'm too old and too stubborn to enjoy getting my head round that lot.

First off, at the moment, if a folder is empty it is discarded when the tree is refreshed (either by the button or by a stop/restart) - so that explains 1 thru 10 (stupid list got renumbered!)

11: AutoCompletions is where Auspex parks completions it has made for you on-the-fly, as you probably guessed. The 'folder,' inside is simply the *word* 'folder' that you have probably been typing so often it decided it would store it for you as a suggestion.

Well, what can I say? If you didn't have a dumb user how else would the program get broken?  :-[

Select a block of text in some program. Let go of the mouse,
I understand the action but it wasn't happening.
Thinking back, since Kedit has been snatched from the jaws of Auspex, I probably assumed that drag-drop wasn't working at all when, in fact, it doesn't work from Kedit (which does support drag-drop). When dropping on the tree didn't work I *could* drop into the replacement-text box. Maybe I tried the tree at a point where things had come looose. I can drag-drop today from FF and WordPerfect but not from Kedit.

Good thing you have so many Kedit users, or you might feel that the time spent on it was wasted!

I'm going to remove all parts of Auspex and start over, waiting until the Auspex AutoCompletions folder has appeared before I create another or attempt any moves at all.

My hope is to acquire some good moves before too long!

Thanks!

When my father was doing his leaving exams from school he insisted on writing them with quills…  he went out and purchased some Biro's, which had not been used in that institution previously, and proceeded to become the first Biro writing leaving student!
That's a nice thing to know about one's father  :Thmbsup:

re the above

Still getting some flaky-folder issues.
Editing an item can cause it to vanish, but not always  :(

Here's something: using tab as the trigger for auto-completes (I've not tried other triggers) it's not possible to have two in sequence; after the first, one has to type some other character before a second will fire. This probably explains why I had the one on/one off issue with one not working and then, later, working again. I was testing by hitting the two in succession. When they both worked I'd almost certainly hit [Enter] in between.

It's uploaded now. I made a few fixes as follows:

Build 43
    * Tab key in KEdit working
    * Completion and Replacement handling cleaned up (no more disappearing items we hope)
.43
Tabs working fine in Kedit!!
Multiple-word auto-completes working

Dragging text to the tree doesn't seem to work. Can you elucidate?

Issue:
  • I created 1 new folder (Auto-Complete: note not AutoComplete)
  • Created 2 auto-completes (manual entry)
  • Dragged the 2 auto-completes to the folder
  • All okay
  • Created new folder
  • Hit refresh
  • New folder disappeared
  • Stop/restart
  • New folder still gone
  • Created new folder
  • Stop/restart
  • New folder disappeared
  • Restarted again
  • A new folder appeared in the tree, not created by me (AutoCompletions)
  • Within that is a new entry, "folder," again not created by me
  • (So, when Auspex is first installed/launched is it meant to appear with the tree already populated? If not, from whence came that second folder?)
  • Once the new (program created) AutoCompletions folder appeared I could add another folder and it was persistent
  • Autocompletions begin to be erratic
  •     first one doesn't work
  •     then the other does work
  •     then the first does work
  •     following that I have "List index out of bounds (1)"

(If Joy saw the wiki I hope it helped her ) ;)
