AutoHotkey Community

I use AutoHotKey for medical transcription, and I'm trying to figure out a hotstring to make "63 -year-old" become "63-year-old". In other words, the hotstring will be ::yo::-year-old, but I want the space between the number and the phrase to disappear.

I hope that was understandable.

Also, I tried the program to capitalize the first word of a sentence (I can't find it right now but it's in this forum somewhere). I copied it into AutoHotKey.ahk and reloaded the script, but the first words of sentences still don't capitalize. Am I missing a step?

Thirdly, can I set a function key (say, F3) to capitalize the first letter of the word that the pointer is on? And another one to make it all caps?

Thanks in advance. In my business, anything that makes saves keystrokes is money!

or you can still use if you type instead of

That's the program I tried, but it didn't work.

I copied it into AutoHotKey.ahk, right clicked on the icon in the system tray, then "reload script" and (at least in Notepad where I tested it) it still doesn't capitalize the first letter of a sentence. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?

The ::yo::year-old, where I type "65-yo" works great, i.e. 65-year-old (using the expander).

Thanks everyone.
