[texworks] how to customize the completion

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi Peng,

Under Windows the shortcut is [Tab] alone.
The bullets do NOT work, unfortunately (as far as I know - perhaps I 
should retest).
Are you sure that the file tw-latex.txt you modified is the one used by 
TeXworks, it could happen that one has several TeXworks folder with 
completion?

Finally, which version are you using under Windows?
