Hi James, Just to clarify. My proposal was to have an insert template action that will show templates without filtering on already entered prefix - as this filtering makes the templates not to appear when you use CTRL+Space once you already have something typed in after a space. So basically that action will be equivalent in terms of functionality with Press space CTRL+Space ... here you can insert a template or not ... Remove the space added in step one I will add also your idea with defining shortcuts for templates to the Jira entry.

Hi James,
I see... I will log an enhancement request on our Jira to provide an action called for instance "Insert template" that will trigger the insertion of a template at the current position without looking for an already entered prefix. You should be able to set a shortcut for that and invoke it then type the template name to select it.
That would seem to be a very good way to do it. So you'd have the template but then have a shortcut key that called that. Any possibility that you could just define those shortcut keys when creating the template? (Rather than have to define the template, then go associate a key with calling it.)
Another possibility is to have a view showing all the templates and have some insert actions from that view at the current caret position.
Less convenient than just being able to map it to a keystroke I'd say, but might be helpful to see them I suppose.
Many thanks,
-James
