The file max uses for the shortened names for objects is "max-objectmappings.txt" in the "init" folder. There's a seperate one for audio objects. It should contain lines like these:

max objectfile s send; max objectfile r receive; max objectfile t trigger;

You can customise it if you wish. Remember that this file will be overwritten with each upgrade/install so if you make customisations save them in a seperate file.

The problem is not there. The short forms are still working.

The problem is just they don't appear in the auto-completion menu. If i create a box with "t b b" written inside, it will be a trigger. But when I type the t letter in a new object box, auto-completion menu proposes me tab as the first object beginning with the letter t. So when I type "t" + "space" I end up with a "tab" instead of a t. I have to backspace every time I want to use a short form.

Has it always been like this and it's only me going slightly crazy?

Is anyone experiencing the same problem?

(Thanks for the information, I did not know how to customize short forms!)

Try rebuilding the database using the "; max db.reset" message.

Worked like a charm! Thanks.
