I'm wondering how I get snippets to expand only after pressing certain keys, such as the space bar, a comma, or a full stop.

Initially, I had my settings set to 'expand immediately', but that meant that I would sometimes get an expansion I didn't want in the middle of a different word (for example, when I was writing a surname that included the letters 'kno', it would trigger my 'kno' snippet for the word 'knowledge').

On the other hand, when I set my settings to 'off' for 'expand immediately', my snippets don't expand at all :confused:

Any way to work around this? I use typeit4me on my Air, and then you can allocate expansion after certain letter/ signs/ the space bar.

Never mind, it works now - I don't know what I did wrong the first time around!
