Use Single : As Hotstring.

21 Mar 2020, 03:41

I'm aware a hotkey could be used but I'd like to use a hotstring.

None of my below attempts have worked:

Code: Select all

:*::::This should be easy
:*:`:::How hard could it be?
:*:{:}::Okay what gives

Thank you very much for the reply, I have resorted to assigning it to a hotkey as it doesn't seem possible for it to function as a hotstring.

It is possible:

Code: Select all

Hotstring(":*::","This should be easy")

I've never seen that way of declaring a hotstring before, thank you!
