Hotstrings
You can use hotstrings to autoreplace text as you type it, or to activate some code, much like a hotkey.
::btw::by the way ;*1 ::lol::laugh out loud ;*2 ::imho::in my humble opinion ;*3 ::launch notepad:: ;*4 { run, notepad.exe ;*5 } return end::exitapp ;*6 /* 1 Type "btw" and get "by the way" 2 Type "lol" and get "laugh out loud" 3 Type "imho" and get "in my humble opinion" 4 Type "launch notepad" to activate some code, rather than perform an auto replace. 5 Opens Notepad. 6 Emergency shutdown. */ |
Hotstrings can be invaluable for anyone who does a lot of typing. Imagine never having to worry about your spelling again, no matter what application you are typing in. Or never needing to type out commonly used addresses or personal info for forms, just hit a few keys and the script does the rest.
