Re: Will AutoCorrect Slow Down My Computer? Topic is solved
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give it a try. It might be hard in my case because my computer will slow down suddenly without any warning. Right now, I have a lot of programs going on at the same time. I use dopus (3rd party explorer), resilio sync, bitdefender, focusme(productivity software that r...

Will AutoCorrect Slow Down My Computer? Topic is solved
This is more of a general question about AHK. I have accumulated a lot of text replacements over the years. It's getting close to 10k now. Every time that I misspell something, I immediately add it to my list. I probably end up adding about 20 or more per day. I'm starting to wonder if I'm overdoing...

Modifying AutoCorrect so Misspelled Word is Replaced.
UPDATE: Hmmm... I didn't expect that nobody would have figured out how to do this! I'm not an AutoHotkey expert so I guess I don't appreciate how difficult this is to do. In the middle of the script, the script combines the misspelled word and the corrected word. Is it that difficult to separate? D...

Re: How to go back to original Chrome tab?
I know this script is old but I wanted to leave a helpful comment for anyone who still needs help. There is a Chrome extension that performs this exact function above. It's called "CLUT: Cycle Last Used Tabs". After you install the extension, make sure you go to Settings and change the keyboard shor...

Re: Text Expander / Auto Correction not matching the font of the application the text is inserted
Did anyone figure out how to prevent autocorrection from changing the font type for single characters? I am encountering the same problem as the OP. Is there an easy way to prevent the font type from creating symbols like ✗? Interesting. I'm learning a lot about hyphens from this thread. LOL. I don'...

Automatically changes "am" to "AM" (w/ font size)
The script does the following: am → AM pm --> PM I wasted another fine Sunday making a script. Since I'm a newb, this took me all day. I probably spent 8 hours to save 5 seconds. :facepalm: I really need to learn how to suppress my desire for perfectionism. AutoHotkey can be such a black hole of tim...

Wow, there really is no way? For example, there is no way for me to insert the arrow symbol, 🡆 into all programs in Windows (not just Microsoft Office)? I've created a hotstring to insert 🡆 into programs but it doesn't work for Microsoft Office. That really stinks. Hallo, unfortunately, there is no ...

Re: Complete newbie question is it possible to change font and font size in MSword.
@BoBo
You mentioned Fiverr in your response. I was intending to use Fiverr to help program something for me in AutoHotkey. (I don't have the time to do it myself.) Is it a bad place to hire some quick programming help? If so, can you recommend some alternatives?
Thanks.

Hi, just need some quick help you, guys. I make a lot of typos. I would like to add these typos to my AutoHotkey autocorrection script.

Re: Ditto- How to Paste Plain Texts Topic is solved
Great answer. Sorry for the late reply but I've been trying to fix my computer after I got the BSOD for the past 2 weeks. I wish there was a way that computers can just reinstall everything with a wave of a hand. It takes me like 2-3 weeks to tweak my computer back to normal after I wipe the drive a...

Re: AutoHotkey and RAM Disks
Can you share those 8,000 auto corrections? My spelling is awful. I don't see a problem storing ahk scripts there but I'm also not sure you would see any benefit since the script lives "in memory" once loaded. I can share them, no problem. The only problem is that they are currently in PhraseExpres...

I just got into creating a RAM Disk for my computer and I really like it. I want to keep it simple to a few programs that would benefit the most from it.

I frequently use the Number Pads to paste a series of copies I've made. I'm assuming most of you do that too. For example, I will see a copy of related paragraphs I want to read later. I will select a paragraph, press copy+c. Then, when I see another paragraph, I select it and press copy+c. When I h...

I use both PhraseExpress and AutoHotkey. And, I was thinking about just getting rid of PhraseExpress since they are constantly conflicting with each other. The GUI doesn't look as pretty but I can live with it and use AutoHotkey from now on to AutoCorrect everything. However, I have one question. Wh...
