Hello!
If I add to "wordlist.txt" file more than 10 expressions starting with the same 3 letters, only the first 10 are shown in the tip-box.
And how do I insert the 10th expression? If I try 1 and 0, the 1st expression has priority.
Thank you!

the tooltip only shows 10 expressions maximum.

1:1st
...
9:9th
0:10th

If you have more than 10 expressions sharing the same first 3 letters, you can type one more letter to narrow down the matching.

It's also possible to edit the source code and extend the limit.

I know there is a problem writting accents and can be solved pressing the ' key and then SPACE, the problem is that while the program is active, I can't write accented characters like: á é í ó ú
Is there any solution

Thank you, great program.

Hi,

we tested on Win XP,Vista,7 Wordpad
with both US International and UK Extended keyboard layouts and did not seem to encounter problem inputting áéíóú

Let me know your OS version, the application window you were working on, which language, keyboard layout you were using? We will look into the problem.

kakarukeys

Of course:

OS: Windows XP
Languaje: Spanish international
Keyboard: Spanish
Application window: any

thank you

On an XP, I changed to Spanish (International Sort)
Spanish keyboard layout, but I'm using a US keyboard physically.
á is typed by pressing ´ which would be the key beside ñ on your keyboard and it is ' on my keyboard, followed by a. I have no problem keying in the accented characters. I presume you are using the latest TypingAid 1.2. Were you running other ahk script concurrently?

Yes, I'm using TypingAid 1.2 and not running other ahk script.

I've tried to configure the keyboard in US and UK layouts but I can't find the accent. (I can see the à accent but not the á).

I'm assuming these keyboards, please let me know how to test to write the accent:

I've tried on three different PCs.

Sorry to hear you're facing problems, perhaps we will borrow a Spanish keyboard and try to find where the problem is. Could you register an acc on our site, so that we could contact you by email in future?

Here's what you need:

Language: 'Spanish (International Sort)'
Keyboard Layout: 'United States-International'
To type á, press ' followed by a
OR
press and hold RAlt (Alt-Gr), then press a

Language: 'Spanish (International Sort)'
Keyboard Layout: 'United Kingdom Extended'

To type á,
press and hold RAlt (Alt-Gr), then press a

I'm using a Microsoft US Keyboard (physically)
I'm not sure how these will work on a Spanish keyboard.

I've tried what you posted and it works with AltGr + a in the US Keyboard layout so the problem is with the ´ key in spanish keyboards.

Please let me know if it's possible to fix that, TypingAid is a really useful program.

I've already created an account, so email me if you need, thank you.

I'm running Windows 7 and I'm having two issues with the Typing Aid:

1. Phrases that begin with one or two word letters don't get suggested. For example, when I type a-s-space, I don't get suggestions for a phrase that starts with "As of ..."

2. Using the Control-Shift-C shortcut sometimes copies the new phrase onto the end of the last phrase in the .txt document instead of making it the next entry.

Please let me know if you are aware of these issues and solutions to them. Other than these, the program is absolutely amazing. The fact that I don't have administrative privileges on my computer at work makes the program ideal, as I don't have to install it to use it. Thanks, and I appreciate your free software!

1. It's by design for memory efficiency
So it's not possible to autocomplete a phrase like 'as soon as possible' in 1.2

We are developing a newer version of TypingAid on AHK forum that might overcome this difficulty. Also BlitzType will not have this difficulty.

2. This could be a bug, we will do some testing on it. Thanks for reporting. In the mean time, please make sure that the last line in your wordlist is a blank line. If the last line is the last word, new word could be appended at the end of the last word.

Hi - I added the English word list to the default wordlist and the only things that get suggested are the phrase that come originally in the file (imagination is more important than knowledge, etc). None of the words in the English list come up, such as abandon, or abalone.

thought of this just after sending. You have to reload the program when you edit the word list. Working very nicely as a spelling help as well!

Hello. Thank you for creating this. It works great.

I play online games here and there. I did create a simple custom wordlist for a specific game ( In English ). Even when the game is not fullscreen, running at 1030 x 800, words trigger the tooltip. However it appears and disappears. Underneath the game window I presume. Is there a way I can make it stay on top somehow?

Any help or advice you have would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Regards

I've never thought the program could be used... for a game

I think the game window must be constantly drawing and it steals focus from other windows. Have you tried using the helper window, Ctrl + Shift + H?

Lol I must say I never thought of it being used for a game either.

You'll notice that happens with any 2d app that tries to overlay itself onto a 3d game. To actually overlay onto a 3d game requires special coding which is a project unto itself. One example of a program that does this is XFire, a gaming instant messenger. They have to write hack code for every game they support. Another one is Playxpert (another gaming instant messenger)... they accomplish their overlay via a system level driver they install.

Your only workaround may be the helper window as kakarukeys suggested (when in windowed mode).

I have a list of 20 servers all with different 3 beginning letters that I need to choose one to type on a field. I'd like to, for example, type ".aa" and get a list with all of them so i can choose one.
I didn't find a way to do that with TA as it does not work with keywords.
Does anybody have any hint for this?
Thanks. Orks

for example what are the names of your servers? What do you wish to get in the tooltip after you type ".aa"?

Would it be possible to allow PgUp/Dn to offer 10 more suggestions in the tooltip if more then 10 entries in the wordlist meet the criteria. My word list has ~5000 entries many of which contain the same text for the first 20 to 30 characters.

I roughly get what you mean. If you can send me the wordlist, to the address in the 'contact us' link, I will be more certain.

You can set the no. of lines displayed in the tooltip (default = 10) in the preferences.ini Does it help?

I know what he wants, I've thought of it before. The PgUp/Dn was more just added as a quick way to get around the currently displayed list. Currently 2.09 is still focused on the number keys, but I'm slowly making changes (see 2.12 on the forums) to increase focus on the arrow keys. This may not change until we stop using a ToolTip and switch to a more proper looking list though; I'm not sure when that will be.

This is now possible with TypingAid 2.14:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53630

Would it be possible to sort tips containing numerical data in ascending order without requiring a leading zero?

word 1
word 11
word 2

is current display, would like to see tip display

word 1
word 2
word 11

this shouldn't be a problem because if you order the words/phrases the way you want in the wordlist.txt it will appear same way in the tooltip. Let me know if this isn't true in your case

Is there any current limit on text size that could be added as one single entry... Explaining this further, is it possible to add few sentences, say about, 5000 characters as one single entry?

Actually, that's not entirely correct. If you set LearnMode to Off in the preferences file, the limit of 61/123 characters is removed.

On running past this application setup zip file through few AV, following were the results:

Antivirus Result
a-squared Trojan.Win32.AutoHK!IK
Antiy-AVL Trojan/Win32.AutoHK.gen
Comodo TrojWare.Win32.AutoHK.ea
Ikarus Trojan.Win32.AutoHK
Kaspersky Trojan.Win32.AutoHK.ea
McAfee+Aretemis Artemis!522C846D82A0

nProtect Trojan/W32.AutoHK.445329
Panda Suspicious file
Prevx Medium Risk Malware
TheHacker Trojan/AutoHK.dx
VBA32 Trojan.Win32.AutoHK.ea

Can you please explain as to why was this application identified as malware?

antivirus identifies some compiled AHK script as trojan. TypingAid may be recognized as one because it tracks the letters the user is typing, unfortunately this is a pattern of keylogger trojan. Run the script with AHK instead, you have concern about this.

Can you please explain the procedure for running the script by AHT... Am not sure if I got this... Thanks.

to run the script directly, you need to have AutoHotkey installed
http://www.autohotkey.com/download/
Double-click the script *.ahk in your TypingAid folder to run.

You may also try the newest development version:

Hi,

This is great software.
Only one problem with it: How to add multi line texts to it.
Eg.:
"Hi,

Thanks for answer.

Regards,
Ferenc"

good feedback.

Hey Feri,
I think that's outside the scope of this script. You would be better off finding a piece of software which is tailored for phrases or text expansion.

Thanks,
Maniac

It is possible?:
- remember last items from clipboard (e.g. last 20)
- a hotkey to show this list
- or when type, firstly show clipboard history items

Hi Feri,
While it's definitely possible, it's again outside the scope of this program. There are specialized utilities which are designed to perform this very function - I would recommend looking into one of them.

Thanks,
Maniac

ClipX is the program I used for this sort of task.

Is there a way to make it case sensitive?

it doesn't change the case during completion.

K, it is case sensitive already. Do you mean case insensitive? If so, the version on the forums should do what you want.

but when i try to put a word in the text by pressing number nothing happen..other key or combination i cannot find also that works

greeting

Congratulation

Here is a nice and very usefull soft.

When you say 'accent not supported' it's false : just mofify "preferences.ini" file as you suggest in this file.

For new version, I will pleased if you can calculate and store the frequency of the use of a word and use this to sort the proposition : in fact instead of show word in alphabetic order show them by frequency order. This function was implemented in the soft "letmetype".

thank's
