Greetings, Stefan ...<br><br>Thanks very much. This is exactly the level of detail that I wanted, and you have been a very big help. I especially appreciate the tip on how to create a shortcut to run a script. Repeatedly stopping to click the "Scripts" menu seemed to be a bit of a pain. I look forward to trying some things out now.<br>

You're lucky - I'm currently at my PC and have little enough to do to

Yes, and this is indeed planned for the (near?) future. However, the
scripting implementation is not that advanced yet, there's still room
for improvement ;).<div class="im"><br>

Partially, yes. It doesn't work as-you-type (you already noticed that),
and it doesn't present an inline list. Instead, it opens a dialog where
you can choose from several options.<br>
<br>
To run the script, simply select "Insert Cross Reference" menu item
from the "Scripts" menu (or a submenu thereof, if you installed the
script to a subdirectory) in Tw. It should immediately bring up the
dialog.<br>
Since selecting a menu-item is not a very speedy thing to do when in
the middle of typing, you can also assign a shortcut to the script.
Unfortunately, the only way to do that at the moment is to edit the
script file directly. So if you open the "insertCrossRef.js" file in a
text-editor (you can even use Tw itself) from where you installed it,
you can add the following line somewhere in the first few lines (all
those starting with "//"):<br>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">//Shortcut:
Alt+R</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"></p>
<br>
This will allow you to run the script by hitting Alt+R (you probably
need to reload the script list in Tw to make it work). You can even
define some more complex shortcuts, such as
"Alt+I,
Alt+R" which means that you need to first hit Alt+I and then Alt+R to
run the script. I find this quite useful as I define all my insert
commands to start with Alt+I, for example, but this is a matter of
taste.<br>
