textreplace.ahk

Within my repo you will find textreplace.ahk, this script is maintained in another repo and is included in this repo via a git submodule.

If you wish to always have the most up to date version of textreplace.ahk instead of using the version that comes alongside this repo;

• Clone the textreplace repo
• Change the "textreplaceUser" value in ptf.ahk from this.SupportFiles "\textreplace\textreplace.ahk" to your directory location

---

The main purpose of this script is to maintain a list of words that I have either mistyped before, or struggle with the spelling of.

Note

textreplace.ahk is the only script that you need to run, the other scripts get #Included within textreplace.ahk

Tip

If you wish to make your own additions to this list, by default the hotkey #+h:: is setup to provide a handy GUI to do just that.

Other Uses

This script isn't just a glorified spell check, it also contains a few little shortcuts to make typing out some of the common functions of my repo faster.

For example;

• Typing toolc and pressing Tab or Space will replace toolc with tool.Cust("") and move the cursor in between the two quotes
• Typing toolf results in tool.Cust("",, 1) and moves the cursor in between the two quotes
• Typing toolw results in tool.Wait()
• Typing coords, coordw or coordc results in; coord.s(), coord.w() & coord.c() respectively
• Typing blockon or blockoff results in; block.On() & block.Off()

On top of that it also helps speed up the process of adding #Include sections to scripts;

• All class libs can be easily added, either individually or all at once

  • inc[class] for the individual
  • incclasses for all of them

  

• KSA can be added with incksa
