AutoHotkey Community

This shows global AutoReplace, with no leading key reqd. As this section runs as a separate thread (due to settimer) so it will not affect the concurrent main script execution.

Looks good. That got me thinking about adding this:

Try to remove the 16k limit from the Input, or at least have an option to have it delete half the text from the start (whenever needed) so that more room is made at the end, allowing the input to become indefinite.

if unlimited text is easily addable then that'd be nice, it'll prove worthwhile in future ... like if we plan to do a AHK cmd AutoComplete using Input.

_________________

A way to avoid the limit (and make it more like other autoreplacers) is to terminate the input when space is pressed, using the %A_Space% variable. I use the following code:



Skrommel

yep... that's an improvement!

The new one (at the very top) is nice because it's so short. Using a timer to get a new quasi-thread is a nice idea.

The script might be slightly improved by having the timer fire only once, and then have that quasi-thread stay permanent by enclosing the contents of the timer's subroutine in an infinite Loop.

Rajat: The absolute most practical Use I can think of is one that (I think) is in high demand. If I had understood what you did here I would try and mash it up myself, (But I don't <-- NooB). Since this .ini/Trigger stuff works with compiled scripts, you could tweak the "HotkeyHelper" http://tangible.ca/articles/14/apps-universal-autocorrect-with-helper
to have a a radio button (Similar to the Slave script writer by Freak) where you could chose the end characters space enter tab custom or even prefix with Backtick, and when you hit send it would INiWrite to the appropriate section in the ini. Also you could include all of Jim Biancolos' <http://www.biancolo.com> Autoreplace scripts from Wikipedia's common mispellings list. You could write a short script to convert the list and then Bam! All the non-Spell checkers of the world rejoice (without having to learn anything about autohotkey)

this is exactly what I've been looking--I have rheumatoid arthritis and use the quickcorrect and autoreplace features extensively in WordPerfect and Microsoft Word.

But I faithfully copied the formula below, and it worked when I typed the abbreviation "btw" in the google search window. I was thrilled -- but it only worked once. When I typed btw again in the Google search window, it did not work-- then I went into notepad, typed in btw, and again it failed to autoreplace.

You guys are light years beyond me -I installed ahk only about two weeks ago- can you tell me why this only worked once, and if the formula includes a time feature, could someone remove that feature, so that as long as the autoreplace hotkey is triggered, it will replace words in any function

thanks -- this would be a godsend to someone who for years has been typing in WordPerfect, then blocking and pasting into Google

mikeriia, is there any reason, why you don´t use hotstrings?
