Tab Abbreviations

TAB trigger for Abbreviations.
The Tab Abbreviations add-on has been merged into HTML Toolkit. Please avoid running the two extensions on the same install.
What it does:
- Auto-complete abbreviations by pressing TAB
- Organise your abbreviations by folder and select the desired one from a pop-up menu
How to Configure?
- Open up your toolbox and create a new folder (red icon)
Abbreviations - Create a folder for each language - HTML, JavaScript, etc. Full list of supported languages is available in the bottom right hand corner of your window
- Inside a language folder, create a new snippet. Give it a name you would later on use to insert it e.g. button, form, table, etc.
How to Install?
- Download the XPI file
- Fire up Komodo 5
- Select Tool -> Add-ons -> Extensions
- Drag and drop the XPI file onto the Add-ons window
- Wait and confirm the installation
You must restart Komodo for changes to take effect.
Source code is available on Google Code.

What do I need to do to trigger the popup menu you describe?
For any of the languages that Komodo supports, open your toolbox and browse to Abbreviations -> [LANGUAGE]. Right click and add a new folder (not a live one, regular one). Set the name to 'doctype'. Inside the newly create folder add snippets for each DOCTYPE you want to have.
Cheers,

Ok, got that. But what keys do I press to make that menu pop up?
Reading the description of the extension I would think that the key to press is the TAB.

It would be very helpful if there was some way to define the cursor position in the inserted text (after it has been inserted).
I am having trouble completing a snippet which is in a subdir of the language folder. Is that a known limitation? The Drupal extension puts its abbreviations under PHP/Drupal. Thanks.
Hi weitzman !
I invite you to the following address: http://code.google.com/p/komodo-tab-abbreviations/issues/detail?id=3&can=1
There you will find solution to the problem of subdirectories. I greet you !
Is there any working extension or macros that do tab-completions?? HTML Toolkit is no more working?
Where are Komodo developers - the most popular komodo extensions features should be implemented to Komodo natively!
Komodo is great. But all too often, it is outshined by some simple, but really useful features found in Dreamweaver.
