Search Snippets on the Fly in TextExpander

Have a large number of snippets and can't remember them all your abbreviations? Use TextExpander's Suggest Matching Abbreviations search feature. It makes finding your snippets fast and simple.

Set your hotkey combination by going to TextExpander > Preferences > Hotkeys. Once it's set, to use the Suggest Matching Abbreviations hotkey combination:

  1. Type a few characters of your snippet or its abbreviation.
  2. Press your hotkey combination immediately after typing the characters. (Don't enter a space before pressing the hotkey combination.)
  3. A popup menu appears with all snippets that contain the characters you typed. Scroll through them and click the one you want.

Ron Davis <rondavis@datawatch.com> of Datawatch writes in response to our query about the status of 911 Utilities:

Datawatch's 911 Utilities product is only available in the SuperSet utilities package. The Symantec/Central Point merger also brings almost all of the commercial anti-virus products under one roof as well, except for Datawatch's Virex with SpeedScan.
