[texworks] how to customize the completion

[Thomas Floeren]

Had exactly the same problem here (Windows).
 
I had to remove also all these temporary files in the completion folder; they
have names like qt_temp.Xd3892, I had 4 of them. Seem to be some kind of cache
files. Inside there were all the not-desired completion strings from the
supposedly deleted files (e.g. tw-latex).
 
Now it seems to work fine here.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Greetings
Thomas

Dear Stefan:
 
thank you very much. 
Yes I found the mistakes you pointed out, I appreciate it very much.
 
I tried you suggestion, yes if I modify the line beginning with {equation} I
can get what I want
However if I try to modiry the line beginning with bequ:.....
and I press Tab after typing bequ I still get the old one..
 
btw, dear Joseph thank you for your reminding, I always reopen texworks after
modifying the tw-latex.txt， am I correct? :p
 
The most weird thing, I moved tw-latex.txt away and created a new tw-latex.txt
file with only
 
%%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
bequ:=\begin{equation}#RET#test#INS##RET#\end{equation}
 
as its content and when I pressed tab after typing bequ, I still got 
 
\begin{equation}
cursor
\end{equation}bullet 

I pressed tab several times, then I got what I modified. So, I guess, are
there some complement codes "embedded" in texworks?
 
Yes the tab+ctrl seems to be occupied by windows as some kind of hotkey, I am
not sure if the software autohotkey can
help us release it from windows....
 
Thank you


Regards, Shao Peng
