lee321987 3 Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Hello To reproduce the bug: open Abbreviation Manager (Menu > Tools > SciTe Config > Other Tools > Run Abbrev Manager). In the text box at top-left, enter your new abbreviation name and click button "Create". In the editor that opens, if you put a pipe character in your code (which you need there to place the cursor), then it messes up how the entry goes into this file: %LOCALAPPDATA%\AutoIt v3\SciTE\au3UserAbbrev.properties it seems to split the entry (at the pipe) into two lines so what should be: mb1=MsgBox(1, '', '|') ends up as ') mb1=MsgBox(1, '', ' The second file is: %LOCALAPPDATA%\AutoIt v3\SciTE\au3.keywords.user.abbreviations.properties I'm can't seem to reproduce it, but I am pretty sure that at some point while experimenting with this, this file ended up blank (so none of my abbreviations worked). My current workaround is to write the code (with no pipe char), click the "Add" button (closes the editor), then click the "Edit" button, and put the pipe in.

Nine 461 Posted April 2, 2019 Ya I got the same, you just need to edit your first abbrev. Add the missing chars, save. Working now ! Hide Nine's signature Hide all signatures No signature so far... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melba23 3,125 Posted April 5, 2019 Hi, Found the problem - _ArrayAdd splits the input on the "|" as it thinks it is a delimiter. An easy fix - just change line #552 in your "AutoIt3 Folder\SciTE\SciTEConfig\AbbrevMan.au3"to read: _ArrayAdd($aUser_Abbrev, $sAbbrev_Name & "=" & $sAbbr, Default, Default, Default, $ARRAYFILL_FORCE_SINGLEITEM) That bug has been sitting there waiting to happen for a long time (I since I rewrote the Array library in 2014, you can read all about it in this thread) - obviously very few people ever use the Abbreviation Manager to add abbreviations with the cursor set character!

Nine 461 Posted April 5, 2019 @Melba23 Changed the line, but didn't solve the bug. Do I need to recompile something ? Hide Nine's signature Hide all signatures No signature so far... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had downloaded it but never installed it. Sometimes, I can kick myself. Now it is working fine...Thanks to you Lee.
