Settings - Triggers

This third part of the Settings tab allows you to choose one, several or indeed all of 33 different characters that will act as triggers and cause your abbreviations to be expanded as you type.

To add/remove a trigger, just place/remove the check mark next to it.

The following picture shows the default setting of tab, space and return. Use the All or None buttons to quickly select or deselect all check boxes.

If you select None, then abbreviations will expand without the need to type a trigger. Whilst some users have requested this feature, it does mean that no two abbreviations can start with the same letters, as the shorter one will trigger as soon as you type it.

By default, TAB, Space and Return are the selected triggers.

'nbs' stands for non-breaking space, which is generated by pressing alt + space.

You have the choice to have the trigger appended or discarded, either as a global setting or abbreviation by abbreviation.
