ctrl-j and snippets

rjwse@aol.com · 04-15-2024, 01:33 PM

Snippets finish with ctrl-j in calibre, but snippets finish with Tab key in Gedit. Is it possible to change calibre's behavior to complete with Tab (or some other key) rather than ctrl-j ?

No only the main actions on the toolbar have configurable shortcuts, not editing actions like bold/italic.snippets/headings/etc.

Thanks for reply. The similarity of calibre snippets and Gedit snippets made me assume both were derived from the same source in that both are finalized AFTER a sequence of keys with ctrl-j (or Tab), whereas compose-key style snippets are initiated BEFOREHAND with the compose-key (quite often ctrl_r) followed by a sequence of keys. I would prefer being able to alter the finalization key(s). Neither does Gedit appear to allow changing from Tab to another key for finalization. Best regards, Pop
