should I forgot one that I didn't use in weeks I just hit my shortcut that brings up the AHK script where I can search for it
Would I use some Treepad-clone I wouldn't be able to access that info so quickly.

I should have thought of using a hotkey to bring it up

presumably in whatever editor you're using.
Type Pilot from Two Pilots stores its abbreviations in a tree structure, which should work well for large numbers of phrases. But you seem indissolubly wedded to AHK

After all, it does a lot of other things, too.
And using triggers that contain names or parts of names really help too.
For example, ".pdo" expands to "D:\Downloads", the "p" means "path" and "do" makes it easy to remember it's for the "Downloads" folder.
Jon Knowles'
ABCZ rule for making abbreviations - found by following one of Harrie's text expander posts - is a
very useful way of systematising abbreviations/shorthands for normal text, but needs modifying for things like paths and whatnot. You system looks sensible, as long as one sticks to it
