Re: TypingAid v2.22.0 - Word AutoCompletion Utility

Heyup,

I'm a long-time AHK fan and euologiser (i.e. I spread the good word about it) who's just starting with TypingAid.

How do I "dismiss" the TypingAid suggestions that pop up without the Escape VK / SC being received by the application with focus? The particular problem I'm having is in MS Visual Studio, when both VS and TypingAid pop-up a list of suggestions. If I don't want the TypingAid suggestions (but want the VS ones) and hit Escape, it also closes the VS suggestions :(

Any suggestions/workarounds?
Many thanks,
Pete

@sm1ng, If you use the {End} key in TypingAid instead of the {Escape} key, it will still dismiss the suggested completions and leave the caret in the same place. I don't know what effect the {End} key will have in Visual Studio, though, my apologies.

yes and i think you could use also the right/left/up/down keys.

or write your own closing shortcut. you have to search about somthing like:
"wordlist appears here"

or move the list beside your window and let it open. so you could see your complete edit-area and list also at the same time.

maybe use https://github.com/serzh82saratov/AhkSpy

I think I typically use the left arrow key @sm1ng.

I use TypingAid on my home computer and I love it. It makes typing in different languages so much faster and better.

I have a query/wish - is it possible to translate the interface of the program into other languages, in my case, specifically Irish?

I translate software into Irish and it would be great to translate TypingAid into Irish so that I can promote it to other Irish speakers. Is there a file in the source that I can access the interface strings so that I can translate it?

Thanks in advance.

It's mostly in Preferences_file.ahk and Settings.ahk, but unfortunately it's not setup for easy translations.

I use the version 2.22
Is possible to set the program so that learned words which are more often used were higher on the list. It seems to me that in earlier versions it was like that. The more often I wrote something the higher it was. Now the order does not change.

Option: show learned word first I have set "on"

It should be, but it takes a long time as it only increments by 1 each time you type.

This word is definitely in your learned words list and not in your static wordlist, right?

I mean words for which use ctrl+shf+c

besides, it's more about sentences, for example "march 2019" "march 2018", "march 2017" etc

I use it most often "march 2019" So he should be at the top

To troubleshoot if your word is *actually* getting a higher ranking, install SQLiteStudio.

Exit the script and open SQLiteStudio.
Open the database "WordlistLearned.db", which should be in the same folder as the exe/script. Click on the Words table, and click on the DATA tab. Find the "march 2019" word and make note of value in the "count" column.

Now, close SQLiteStudio, relaunch the script, type "march 2019" again, maybe more than once if you want, and then exit the script again.

Now open the database "WordlistLearned.db" and check the value of "march 2019" again.

(I forget if you actually need the exit the script, but safer to do it).

but that it would do itself because it is not even about this particular phrase

I don't understand, did it increment, or not?

I use
SQLite-Database-Browser-Portable

"march 2019" = count 78
"march 2018" = count 1700

I'm sure I used it a year ago "march 2018" ?

How do you delete these large values in previously used phrases?

So, values never decrement. The algorithm is not great - I'll give you that. You could manually edit them right within that database program if you want - just make sure the script is NOT running.

Or simply delete the old learned word... it's Ctrl-Shift-delete

yes, and there is a really good admin tool for this: https://sqlitebrowser.org/

I haven't posted enough on this forum to be able to send private messages to the principal author of TypingAid, whom I presume to be Maniac? Well thanks for making this freely available in the first place.

I have been using TypingAid for the last 3 years with increasing dependency and "fluency". It is in fact nowadays a leading piece of "Productivity Software" for me, nearly indispensable. I use it in conjunction with voice recognition software (MModal) in my professional practice (no the two are not integrated nor do they need to be). For MModal I pay CDN$ 100+ per month for the privilege. TypingAid I pay nada.

First question: is there a donation page associated with TypingAid? Mind you, I am happy to donate to AHK Foundation "in the name of TypingAid". But in reality I wish to do both. I use AHK scripts in my work daily, too.

Why not enjoy "free" some might ask? "Free" is good and free is sweet. But I have come to depend on this piece of software as a very useful tool in my daily slog to make a living. I want there to be "stake" in the continued existence and maintenance of this tool.

And to express my appreciation and to attach value (though perhaps secondary to my wish to create a stake). What if the author or authors decide to "retire" or pull back from such a "free project"? There is no reason why users with a stake in the utility and health of this particular tool should not incentivize its continued maintenance and upgrade IMO.

Hey @dox , thanks, yes it's me. I appreciate that you want to donate; but as you've noticed... I actually have pretty much pulled back from development of this tool. I originally developed it because I needed it for work, but I've since moved on to new environments and no longer need it.

I keep up with replying to issues in case I ever pick it up as a side project again, but at this point it's really just waiting for someone to take it over. I haven't had any time to pay attention to it.
