Microsoft Windows only.

Example: you can define text replacement definition which after entering btw/ will automatically replace this string into by the way. Yes, you can define longer replacement text or even one triggerstring can trigger up to 7 versions of text replacements.

Added value (💲💲💲):

• operating system wide action: no matter in which editable window your cursor is placed, text replacement will work!

• this function is similar to "AutoCorrect" function (Microsoft Word) or iOS → Keyboard → Text (replacement) BUT system wide

• free and increasing database of existing libraries or triggerstring / hostring definitions.

For more features, read on.

Features

  • text replacement: abbreviations (aka triggerstrings) are replaced with expansions (aka hotstrings);
  • definitions (triggerstring, hotstring) are stored for future reference within .csv files called libraries;
  • libraries can be dynamically enabled / disabled;
  • thanks to .csv files you can group your favorite definition libraries, e.g. emojis, physical symbols, first and second names etc.;
  • import of existing collections of (triggerstring, hotstring) definitions from within .ahk files; example: famous AutoCorrect.ahk with over 4 800 definitions can be easily imported.;
  • export of libraries (.csv) files to .ahk files;
  • one triggerstring can be used to trigger multiple hotstrings displayed in form of shorthand list (aka. tooltip);
  • entering of actual hotstring into edited text is configurable with plenty of available options
  • GUI (Graphical User Interface) for easy definition and/or edition of hotstrings;
  • all events configurable via GUI including sound emitting;
  • syntax of definitions is compatible with AutoHotkey options (B0, C, ? etc.);
  • new hotstring definitions can be pasted into application directly from clipboard;
