Code templates not triggered
Sometimes, code templates are not triggered.
I was unable to determine exactly when that's the case, but it seems that the current worksheet needs to be at least connected to a database.
Sometimes, the template was only triggered when I entered it directly at a lines beginning, i.e. no spaces before the abbreviation.
It also seemed that semicolons on the worksheet had an influence on the abbreviation being triggered.
At times, ctrl+space would open a pop-up, but then I'd still have to muse the cursor keys on the keyboard to select the text.
