Hey there @lao.
What you are noticing is the ‘text snippets’ feature. (Pardon me if you already know what text snippets are, but they are basically shortcuts for predefined sections of text as you observed).
The Sonic Pi snippets feature has not yet been officially documented and is not yet officially supported - Even so, you may find the related Github issue of interest: https://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi/issues/587

There are a few snippets that are built in to Sonic Pi, but as mentioned they are not documented or officially supported etc. However, they are visible in the Sonic Pi Github repository: see https://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi/tree/master/etc/snippets.

Hey @paubarrina - currently the Tab key triggers the snippet completion :slight_smile:
