If auto completion for abbreviations is enabled, I couldn't find a way to undo an undesired auto-completion (tried Esc, Backspace, ...). Ctrl+z undoes the completion, but it is immediately re-done. reproduce: - enable "auto completion for abbreviations" (in settings->configure kile; kile->complete) - in the same area select the abbreviations tab and enable fastex - type "de" expected: - "de" is replaced by $e$ - there is any combination to press to undo the completion and continue typing any word starting with "de" actual: - "de" is replaced by $e$ - I found no way of undoing the replacement note: Simply turning off "auto completion for abbreviations" (see screenshot) is a nice workaround; they can be inserted on Ctrl+Space and undone w/ Ctrl+z; however, it's unfortunate that the box making suggestions for possible completions isn't shown if "auto completion for abbreviations" isn't ticked. Maybe there could be a separate option for "show suggestions for auto completion for abbreviations" independent of automatically triggering the completion.

I completely agree. I would say that "Auto completion for abbreviations" is simply useless as it is implemented! Without a way to cancel abbreviation auto completion it is simply impossible to write words which start with the same letters of any abbreviation. For the sake of consistency, I think it should work like "Auto completion for LaTeX markup", which is less intrusive by just providing suggestions. If not, it should provide a way to undo the replacement. In this case it would be nice to include abbreviations in the suggestion box even if "Auto completion for abbreviations" is off ().
