[ jEdit-users ] Help with Superabbrevs

[Roy S. <roy...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm having problems getting the Superabbrevs plugin to work.  I don't seem
to be getting much past first base.

I've looked at

http://ifakedit.com/log/2006/02/19/jedit-tutorial-a-how-to-on-abbreviations-superabbrevs-in-html-ruby-on-rails-and-more/

where it says

   1. Go to in the file menu *Utilities -> Global Options -> Shortcuts*
   2. Click on the dropdown box and select *Plugin: SuperAbbrevs*

there is no SuperAbbrevs showing in the dropdown. According to the Plugin
Manager, SuperAbbrevs, version 0.23 is loaded (jedit 4.3pre16).  In the
Plugin Options>SuperAbbrevs>Abbreviations, Ruby mode is selected, but the
text expansions don't work in .rb files

Also, when typing in text area, a popup menu appears  with variable names
etc. Pardon my ignorance but what is this? Abbreviations?

any help much appreciated

Roy
