[TxMt] Re: LaTeX completion

[Alex Ross]

I'm afraid I can't support that kind of workflow, due to the  
limitations of the way the Dialog plugin works.

The work flow that I can support is typing:

\b⇥e⇥ for enumerate
\b⇥i⇥ for itemize

etc.

this is the same number of keystrokes as “enum⇥”, but has the  
advantage of being sort of mneumonic.  It will also suggest it to you  
everytime you press “\” so you won't forget to do it, which is the  
problem that I always have with completion.  Additionally, it can  
support MANY different snippets and you won't have to remember all the  
different key combinations.
