This may be something i am missing. I have tried to create an AutoText comment shortcut in VB.NET 2005. The shortcut doesn't work, although the AutoText can be selected from the context menu.
One clue might be shown below. The Autotext I created shows up red in the treeview. Any ideas?

Only certain characters are allowed in a shortcut, namely those that begin a comment or preprocessor macro for C/C++ and C#. Single quote isn't one of them though it should for VB.
See the paragraph called "Shortcuts" in:

for now can you use a different shortcut? // works just fine, but this may seen alien, since it is the C++, C# single line comment syntax, not the VB comment syntax.
The other AutoText entries work just fine. As for using a // as a comment in VB, that's cool. I am an oldskool C++ programmer.
Thanks for validating the issue with a case number.

the entry is red because this is a newly added or edited entry. this helps you to pick out the items you are editing when you have a long list of autotext entries.
