Confusing documentation about key shortcut #42

This part seems weird to me: "so no need to learn another pesky shortcut" When following it is this: "Pressing control+space, will activate AutoFileName"

That is a key shortcut.

Additionally, it felt implied that I should be able to press control+space at ANY time and AutoFileName will provide a list of file suggestions. This is not the behavior that occurs, instead the only thing working correctly for me is that I get the AutoFileName menu whenever I am editing the "src" attribute in an HTML file, or when I am outputting to a file in a script via ">" or ">>".

It would be nice if "control+space" actually worked, and in any type of file. Sometimes I'm just editing an SH script or a txt file and I want access to this feature, but it's a bit confusing on how I would achieve this menu on any type of file via a key shortcut.

Some people actually find pesky shortcuts useful :)

By default, AutoFileName will activate within any string. If there is an instance in which it is not activating where you'd like to see it activate, you can add that scope to your AFN user settings. control+space isn't "another" shortcut. It's Sublime Text's default shortcut for autocompletion. The only thing control+space will do is open the autocompletion box.
