Lets say I have this abbreviation:
RSPB
Can I make a command which, when I select ³RSPB² and hit a keyboard shortcut, will replace ³RSPB² with ³Royal Society for Protection of Birds²?
Thanks Ross
Just make a snippet with the tab trigger rspb
Set its contents to royal society... And sett the scope to the language(s) you wants it to appear in — Sent from Mailbox for iPad

If this is in LaTeX, you can also edit the configuration file (LaTeX bundle
Edit Configuration File) and add a line:
rspb = 'Royal Society for Protection of Birds'; or even rs = 'Royal Society for Protection of Birds'; and in your text, use Control-Shift-period after typing rs. --gildas

Hi, The easiest way (afaik) is probably to create a snippet that replaces ‘rspb’ with 'Royal Society for Protection of Birds’ using a tab trigger. S.

Hi all
I don¹t think I captured what I was actually after in my question my mistake. Heres another try:
I often have a list of birds like this
Bar-tailed Godwit Mallard Redshank Ringed Plover Turnstone
I need to convert them into their abbreviated codes, so the list needs to become:
BA MA RK RP TT
My current strategy is to just manually replace each bird name with their code. I was hoping to make 5 selections (multiple cursors, one cursor for each bird name), and convert them to their codes in one keystroke. Does this sound possible?
Thanks Ross

Since a lookup table is required to transform the bird names, there is no good way around writing code for this task.
But a simple command can do this, I attached an example. Double-click to install.
After that, you can press F3 to convert bird names in your selection or document (if there is no selection).
You can augment the list in the bundle editor and/or change the key equivalent.
