Within Texpand, each phrase has a shortcut (hotstrings) and phrase (phrase to be expanded).
Let's say I have three phrases with these hotstrings
hotstring for phrase 1: hello,,phrase1,,hll,,h1
hotstring for phrase 2: hi,,phrase2,,hll,,h2
hotstring for phrase 3: welcome,,phrase3,,hll,,welcome,,h3
With AutoHotkey (per my knowledge), I need to type the whole hotstring (for example :*:hello,,phrase1,,hll,,h1::Phrase 1 Content ...) in order for the phrase to be expanded.
But with Texpand, I just need to type any portion of the hotstring, and phrases that their hotstring contains this sub-string will appear in the suggestions list menu.
In Examples in screenshots:
1. When I input either "hll", "h3", or "ase3", I get a popup bubble telling me that there are phrases suggestions.
2. It opens a suggestions window of the phrases containing that portion I typed. When I tab any phrase, it's expanded like in 3.
Also Texpand sorts the phrases by the most used first (also the ones having the better match first).
How could I do the same thing with AutoHotkey?
- How could I add suggestion popup window?
Also, Knowing that I need to make detecting suggestions by inputting any portion of the hotstring.
Current progress to achieve this:
