Auto-Replace Settings
A tutorial video about auto-replace can be found here.
Auto-replace now allows for the dynamic replacement of text with other text in notecards as well as in chat. This can be used from situations such as automatically correcting words you commonly mistype, to a full blown macro system.
Corrections and expansions occur when the space bar is pressed, so when “afk” is typed it is only expanded to ”(Away from Keyboard)” after a space is added.
Important: This feature does not work with non-letter and non-characters. For example, the autocorrection of a smiley like ”:)” cannot be transformed into ”???”, but one can transform “sm” into ”???”.
- Enable Auto-Replace: Enables the auto replace mechanism.
- Import List..: Allows a list of entries that can be corrected by specifying an XML file from the computer. To get the correct formatting of the file, use the Export List function (described below) and modify it accordingly.
- Export List: Exports the list of abbreviations so that they can be saved the computer. The format is XML.
- New List: Create a new list of abbreviations.
- Delete List: Removes the list of abbreviations.
Below these buttons is a list of, well, the lists you have defined. Lists have a priority: they are scanned in order, top down. This is you have an abbreviation defined in two or more lists, the first one found will be used. You an change the order of the lists with the up and down arrows to the right.
Then comes the contents of the highlighted list, shows as Keyword and Replacement.
- Add: Allows you to add a new keyword/replacement pair.
- Remove Entry: Removes an entry from a list.
