I created a custom Code Template using the Code Template editor in SQL Navigator 7.6. I don't see the new template when I press Ctrl-J to bring up the list of templates. I temporarily assigned a hotkey to the new template, and then I could see it in the list of templates displayed with Ctrl-J.

The help file doesn't say anything about having to assign a hotkey to a template, and in fact I don't think there are enough hotkeys for the 100 supported Code Templates.

I don't need or want hotkeys assigned to my custom templates since I can retrieve them with Ctrl-J in the editor. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Thanks for the assistance.
