Re: Abbreviations and Komodo version upgrades

Hi Anton,

I saw the shared toolbox, but didn't try it because the documentation 
indicated that it was the _last_ place searched for abbreviations. 
Therefore it seemed that I would never get my modified abbreviations. Here 
is the relevent help text:

When Ctrl+T is entered, Komodo searches for relevant snippets in the 
current project, the toolbox, and the shared toolbox (in that order). 
Komodo checks the language-specific sub-directory and the General 
sub-directory in each of these places. For example, if you are editing a 
Python module, these snippet directories will be checked in this order:
1.      Abbreviations/Python folders in: 
Current Project
Toolbox
Shared Toolbox
2.      Abbreviations/General folders in: 
Current Project
Toolbox
Shared Toolbox

Thanks for the idea though.

-Tom

Re: [Komodo-discuss] Abbreviations and Komodo version upgrades






Tom, have you tried using the Shared Toolbox
(http://docs.activestate.com/komodo/5.1/toolbox.html#toolbox_share).
I have used this for years and it doesn't get affected by upgrades.

cheers,
Anton
