Howdy,
Since TeXWorks is actually pre-release there is no real documentation.
There is a UTF-8 encoded file (make sure it's opened with UTF-8
encoding when you peruse this file), tw-latex.txt, found in ~/Library/
TeXworks/completion/ on a Mac (don't remember where it is on other
systems) that contains the completions. You'll also notice ``bullets''
which are place holders (marks) to jump to arguments or ends of
expansions quickly. On a Mac you use Option-TAB to jump forward to the
next mark and Shift-Option-TAB to jump backwards; I have no idea what
it is on other systems but would like to know for future reference.
There are lots of expansions in that file but I can guarantee that it
isn't complete. Look at the contents to see how to create your own
(remember UTF-8!). There is a version of the completions what is to be
used with TeXShop on a Mac that comes with some documentation about
what's in the file and how to use it. Some of it is probably TeXShop/
Mac specific but much of the usage disciption may be helpful. You can
download it as CommandCompletion.zip from <http://homepage.mac.com/herbs2
>.
Good Luck,
