[texworks] how to customize the completion

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

Under Windows take care to modify the file: C:\Documents and
Settings\shaopeng\TeXworks\completion
as Stefan did write. (change shaopeng to your user_name)
Do not forget that there could be more than one completion starting with
the same shortcut; example
ba is good for \begin{align}, \begin{aligned},...;
so typing ba and pressing [Tab] will give the first completion, [Tab]
the next, and so on; *the order is the order* in the tw-latex.txt file
and the other files of the directory "completion".
You can add your own files in that directory, they will be used as well
(pay attention to conflict).

And yes, with r.291 the move to the bullet is working with [Ctrl]+[Tab]
(thanks Joseph to pointing that).
What is a Windows shortcut is [Alt]+[Tab], which scrolls between open
windows.

Regards,

Alain
