Please explain “abbreviations properties” - we don’t understand what you mean by that.

Did you mean Keyboard Shortcuts?

I think I understand what you’re saying, but I’m not even aware of such a feature in Max, let alone where to find it (or its files).

The abbreviation file is stored in your 3ds Max User Folder (\enu\MXS_EditorAbbrev.properties). It’s path is listed in the Maxscript Editor whenever you open it in the editor. Copy that file and it put it in the same location on the other machine.

It does indeed - now I understand what you’re after ;-)

I don’t think you can have multiple files - at least not for the same type of file. According to the document at http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDoc/html you can have different sets of abbreviations for different types of files such as .ini, .c, .pl and so on, but it doesn’t mention the ability to load different ones during the same editing session as I think you would need.

The abbreviations file (...\enu\MSX_EditorAbbrev.properties) contains the abbreviations like bx=box(), actual keyboard shortcuts are in the main [installdir]\MSX_Editor.properties (the big one), though you may be able to add them to the User Properties file instead.

Apologies for the lack of understanding - I’ve never bothered trying to configure the editor - it works well enough as is for me.
