Auspex
timns:
OK, the refresh button made the changes "take" immediately-- it is the "Save" button. I just didn't know what that was/did. New to this really neat utility, ya know!

No problem - I enjoy the banter. At some point soon we'll have a little user guide too.

Since we are just chatting, here's another thing...I just was in Excel and tried to copy/paste one cell to another. I received popup dialog saying "Cannot open clipboard: access is denied." It had Auspex...in the title bar of the window.
Messing around, I was able to do it. Just tried again; got the popup again. Does Auspex inhibit other program's use of the clipboard?

It should not have any effect on other programs, but a couple of people have noticed issues. I use a standard clipboard component so it should play nice. But I'm just about to make the clipboard feature switchable anyway - so unless you really like the clipboard extensions that auspex offers (and there are much better ones around, I do agree) you will be able to switch 'er off.
movrshakr:
That seems to be a good thing to do (make it switchable). But recognize I don't know what I am talking about! :) since I am a newbie to this. I don't know how the clipboard is used with Auspex, or how it could be used if I did xxxx.
Here's a new one: I enter a new replacement, click refresh, click "x" upper right. It doesn't close--does nothing.
and I saw earlier you are aware that it hangs around on the taskbar.
rjbull:
I'd actually only seen one thing similar before, and it was terribly basic. Something on lifehacker I think it was - I've junked it now so cannot recall.-timns (January 11, 2011, 02:57 PM)

Probably Texter?
If I'd have known about things like AHK I may not have started this little project

I think Texter is written in AHK!
I have a bit of a bad habit of not looking around enough to see what else is out there when I get excited about doing a bit of coding of my own

That seems to be a congenital problem for coders! Your competitors, or near-competitors, include:
* Typing Buddy
* FastFox Typing Expander
* Type Booster
* Smart Type Assistant
* Typing Assistant
* Comfort Keys (and Comfort Typing)
* Phrase Express
* Instant Text (the Big Daddy of the genre)
* Let Me Type
* ShortCut
* Type Pilot (and freeware lite Speed Pilot)
* Breevy
* SuperKeys
Here are some Donation Coder threads, which deal with text expanders, completers and the like:
