max abbreviation length 40 Topic is solved

[Xtendera]

Hello, so I was doing a really long abbreviation when I came up with this error
Hotstring max abbreviation length 40.

And the hotstring was 44 characters. Any way to bypass this?

Never ever saw a Hotstring > 40 characters. Would you mind to show yours? Thx

it can be reproduced:

Code: Select all

::12345678901234567890123456789012345678901::this is too long

The question is, why so long?

The question is, why so long?

Exactly! That's why I wanna see it Obviously something really special

Hallo,
cut your long abbreviations in half:

Code: Select all

:*X:123::Code := 1
:*X:456::Send,% (Code = 1)?"1.Hotstring":
:*X:abc::Code := 2
:*X:def::Send,% (Code = 2)?"2.Hotstring":

I have 123456 and abcdef cut in half

@Rohwedder lol . That would do it alright but again why so long. This came to mind as an example:

Code: Select all

::thisismyabbreviationandIhadnothingshorter::hello

[Rohwedder]

Addendum:
Abbreviations are only replaced if they are written in full:

Code: Select all

:?*XB0:123::F:=1,No:= 1
:?*XB0:456::SendInput,% (F--*No)= 1?"{Bs 6}1.Hotstring":
:?*XB0:abc::F:=1,No:= 2
:?*XB0:def::SendInput,% (F--*No)= 2?"{Bs 6}2.Hotstring":

And false triggers became less likely.
