t. If you press space after the end of the macro, you are in the first cell. I do that without thinking about that every time. Btw., \frac\alpha has the same behaviour. It has nothing to do with macros...

Yes, that is correct. OK.

(Tab takes me to the second argument, in fact.) I guess I could get used to that, but I think space used to work as I've described.

What does space do in e.g. \frac? Jump to the next argument?

If somebody has a 1.5 around, please check if the behaviour was the same there (with \frac). Otherwise it is a regression.

In 1.5, space acts the same way, both in \frac and in macros: It exits the macro.

Still, it seems to me that there is an inconsistency here. You type "\frac" then space to get inside the arguments; but then you have to use Tab to get from one argument to the next. And then if you're in the last argument, Tab doesn't do anything, but from any argument Space will exit. I guess this is basically "table" behavior, yes?

I personally use the cursor keys, no tab or space at all. But I agree the behaviour with the space is a bit strange. But I got used to that, so I did not notice.

I fear if we change anything in this area, at least 5 people will start complaining that it's a regression and we have to keep the behaviour because it was like that all the time. And I can even understand that.

By the way, what are we using now to accept completions? I mean, before the little dropbox thingy comes up.

That's an issue we have to decide on. I have bound it to TAB locally and it bahaves exactly like in the hardcoded case before. But of course I lost TAB in the tables. Comments?
