    Auto-replace

    Add or edit the templates used to automatically replace text in the Editor as you type. This can be used to add an alias (i.e. emp) for a table or database that automatically expands to the full table/database name (i.e. employee).

    The auto-replace option is called by the Editor whenever there is white space (pressing the SPACE or ENTER key) after a set period of time.

Add Templates

To add a new template

  1. Right-click Auto-replace and select Add New Template.

  2. Enter a name for the template. This should be the exact formatting of characters you want to type to activate the template.

  3. Enter the replacement value in the right pane.
