Yes, but that's an external dependency and this solution is self contained (aside from the VB dependency, but that's given).

Anyway, for serious purposes Monster or the COM solution may be better, ...

I needed this eval feature in AHK and I thought vbscript could be used, because it is installed on Windows by default AFAIK.

This script contains the necessary VB code in itself and creates the VB ...

Thanks, I thought Ctrl+Backspace worked everywhere, but it's true Notepad's edit control shows the same behavior.

Strange, this default behavior doesn't seem to make much sense.

It's a pretty basic key combination, but when I press it in a GUI Edit control it prints a box character instead of deleting the previous word. Anyone knows why that is?

Now that Wikipedia is down it kind of kills the script. Damn! Smile

Had to comment out the completion part to be able to use it. Async download would be a better aproach. Luckily, wikipedi ...

There is an issue since I integrated wikipedia completion. Sometimes the down key is stuck after I use the input box like the hotkey in the script is not disabled properly.

I am confused too. I do not know what to name the function..
deref_accentedchars() ?

Or deref_unicode? But the name is not really important if it works properly.

BTW, I found if I search for &q ...

Yep, I've seen those, the problem is there are other problematic characters (try the query "jozsef" for example) and I'd like a more complete solution at least for all European languages. I ...

Two improvements:

The completions actually complete the input, so they can be used to quickly add text to the input and type additional characters.

The results from wikipedia are parsed properly ...

Thanks for testing my script Smile
