The script, working as PhraseExpress

[SashaChernykh]

Hello. Is there a ready AutoHotkey scripts that work as program PhraseExpress? PhraseExpress program paid and free version users creates big problems.

What features are necessary for me.

1. Automatically insert text after I write a certain phrase, for example, I'm writing /Sasha, and inserted Sasha is amazing. Example:

I use many programs, but they either paid or not supported Cyrillic symbols.

• 2. Insert characters by pressing hotkeys. For example, I wrote Win+, insert symbol «, Win+]
  → insert symbol ». Example:

You could show working examples of scripts for my case?

Thanks.

In AutoHotkey it's build-in and called a hotstring and hotkey(s)

Hotstring Example:

Code: Select all

:*:/Sasha::Sasha is amazing

Hotkey example:

Code: Select all

#,::send «
#]::send »

@Blackholyman, thank you very much! But I have 2 problems.

1. Encoding

Code:

Code: Select all

:*:/Amazing::Саша изумительна!

Result:

Code: Select all

Саша изумительна

This code not working with Cyrillic symbols.

2. Unsuccessful display some characters

Code1:

Code: Select all

#]::send »

Result in Sublime Text Build 3114:

Code: Select all

В»

Result in Firefox 48.0.2 (for example, when I wrote this message) — nothing.

Code2:

Code: Select all

#n::send Sasha Princess!

Result:

Code: Select all

No exclamation point.

Thanks.

you will need the unicode version of AutoHotkey, and you need to save your .ahk files with BOM

for the exclamation make you can use the raw option

Code: Select all

:R*:/Amazing::Саша изумительна!
