User Abbreviations not expanding

[zaetep]

Hi,

I just discovered the abbreviation manager. I put my abbreviation (crlf to expand to & @crlf &) in as described and it all looks ok.

When i type the abbreviation in code it turns red but then the space bar does nothing (not even put a space in).

It works fine for the built in ones.

What have i done wrong? i have tryed it with other abbreviations and expansions but it still doesn't work.

What is the content of: abbrev.properties and au3UserAbbrev.properties?

au3userabbrev.properties contains:

# AutoIt3 User properties
crl=& @crlf &

 

Gets to crl, goes red and then won't let me press space.

 

au3abbrev.properties contains:

# Global abbreviations file for SciTE
# Place this file in your home directory, that is, the same directory
# as the user options file.
# Contains a list of entries of the form abbreviation=expansion
# Type the abbreviation and press Ctrl+B to insert the expansion
# The '|' marke the position the caret will be after expansion.

Ok, but did you also check abbrev.properties?
It should contain:

import au3abbrev
import au3UserAbbrev
