I changed the number of shown entries to 20, the lower 10 are not numbered so I have to move my hand to the down arrow key anyhow. However it is not important and if i wanted to it looks pretty simple math to modify for myself.

2.10 released:
*2.10
** Removed {BS} (BackSpace) from the Terminating Characters list in the preferences file and hardcoded it. BackSpace is necessary for script functionality and should not be removed.
** Added code to reset the word if you use the mouse to move the caret within the same line.
** Updated the documentation in the Preferences file to be more user-friendly and descriptive.

Please let me know if you have any issues double-clicking. Apparently AHK is flaky when trying to call A_CaretX within a HotKey. It also didn't work in a function (actually, was in HCaretX()), but calling it from a GoSub seemed to work.

There is no harm with having {BS} in both the preferences file and the actual script, so you don't need to touch your preferences file if you don't want to.

Kakarukeys, I did not make all of the changes to the preferences doc exactly as you did. Please review, thanks.

A new known issue as well:
With CAPS lock on, if you hit the Up/Down arrow to change lines and begin typing, the first character you type will not be capitalized on some machines.

I obviously can't get it to happen on my machine , but I personally know 2 people who I have verified the issue with.

V2.10 seems to have broken on screen keyboards. Please use v2.09 if you use on on screen keyboard for now.

*edit*
2.12 add a parameter to disable the changes from 2.10. There is no longer a need to use 2.09.

*2.11
** Fixed a bug introduced with 2.07 which caused learned words to no longer be ranked.

Additionally, I think some words/phrases with commas may have had issues.

[maniac]

2.12 is released.

*2.12
** Unused HotKeys are now disabled and not just bypassed.
** Added a new parameter to disable or enable resetting of the tooltip on a mouseclick. This should be disabled when using an On-Screen keyboard, otherwise it should be enabled as it allows you to scroll with the mousewheel.
** Added the ability to disable the number keys as AutoCompleteKeys, allowing you to have words that contain numbers.
** Hide the tooltip and helper window when the window title does not contain the Title preference parameter.
** Set process priority to low when waiting for a window which contains the Title preference parameter.
** Suspend HotKeys when waiting for a window which contains the Title preference parameter.
** Changed the helper window so it does not become the active window when it is opened.
** Words containing numbers or ForceNewWordCharacters will now be ranked if they are already learned words.
** If Ctrl-Enter, Ctrl-Space, Tab, and Right arrow are all disabled as AutoCompleteKeys, then the ArrowKeyMethod is set to Off.

Other positive side effects of the above changes:
With DetectMouseClickMove=On, using the scroll wheel will no longer reset the tooltip (however clicking the scrollbar will).

If you switch to a window which does not contain the title string, and switch back without moving the caret, your tooltip will restore and you can continue typing your word.

I would like to work on these enhancements next, but I haven't had too much time to think about them yet:

• Introduce exclude programs, e.g. work everywhere except in notepad
  
• Change include programs to a list
  
• Add a way to define a list of programs for which to open the Helper Window automatically (and close the Helper Window when that program is no longer active)

Does anyone have any good ideas for a list format in which this could be handled with just 1 or 2 lists rather than making 3 separate lists?

It needs to be something that would be clear to the end user in the preferences file.

[SoLong&Thx4AllTheFish]

Title of programs to exclude/include either in one variable per type with a delimiter, say a comma or | OR create a [titlesinclude] [titlesexclude] sections in the INI file and simply title1= title2= etc. You can then use a parsing loop to create AutoHotkey groups and use those groups to (de)activate.

If you want to do it all in one variable for both in/exclude it may be getting a bit too complicated ?

P.S. Still looking at the config gui, don't worry

I was thinking of maybe a list of the format:
Program;Parameter|Program;Parameter|...

Parameter being I, H, and E (Include, Include + Helper, Exclude)

And an extra Keyword "program" of ALL which means to include ALL programs.

With some simple override rules:
1. If there is an Exclude parameter, all programs besides those with the exclude parameter are Included (and those with the H have a helper window).
2. If there is a Helper parameter, and no ALL Keyword in any programs, all programs besides those with the Include or Helper parameter are exclude.
3. If there is a Helper parameter, and an ALL keyword exists on a program, then all programs are included.
4. If there is an Include parameter, all programs besides those with the Include or Helper parameter are excluded.

so:
Notepad;I
would include only notepad
Firefox;H
would include only Firefox and Firefox would use the helper window
Firefox;H|ALL;I
would include all programs and make Firefox use the helper window
Calculator;E
would include all programs but calculator
Firefox;H|Calculator;E
Would include all programs but Calculator and make FireFox use the helper window



Or maybe this would be more simple:
Program;Parameter|Program;Parameter|...

Parameter being I, H, IH, and E (Include, Helper, Include + Helper, Exclude)

With some simple override rules:
1. If there is an Exclude parameter, all programs besides those with the exclude parameter are Included (and those with the H have a helper window).
2. If there is an Include or Include + Helper parameter, all programs besides those with the Include or Include + Helper parameter are excluded.

so:

Notepad;I
would include only notepad
Firefox;IH
would include only Firefox and Firefox would use the helper window
Firefox;H
would include all programs and make Firefox use the helper window
Calculator;E
would include all programs but calculator
Firefox;H|Calculator;E
Would include all programs but Calculator and make FireFox use the helper window



Or I could simply make 2 lists:
One list for enabling the Helper Window
One List for either Include or Exclude (since they are mutually exclusive, we'd have to set a flag of some sort to say if the list is Include or Exclude)


Great, I'm trying to make your life easier by making more parameters, am I helping?

[SoLong&Thx4AllTheFish]

I don't think the avarage user will like notepad;H|program;I format it is probably to "difficult" to comprehend?

[ExcludePrograms]
Title=Notepad|Calculator

[IncludePrograms]
Title=Firefox|Wordpad

[Helperwin]
Title=Hi|Ho

is probably the most noob friendly

Edit: The gui, +Toolwindow is apparently a terrible way to hide the helperwindow from the taskbar and it must be Owner for one reason or another see http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55530
