Plugins are easy to develop, included by default are: Bundle converters (simple lists, CSV, UltraEdit, Texter) Shortcuts for your favourite snippets (Hotkeys in AutoHotkey terminology) Abbreviations for your favourite snippets (Hotstrings in AutoHotkey terminology)

Full text snippet search using four different search modes If you want to take your copy of Lintalist with you all you have to do is copy the Lintalist folder. You can run the program from a USB drive or dropbox account for example.
Using auto text expander windows#
When you run it for the very first time it does ask if you want a shortcut on your desktop or would like to automatically start it with Windows but you don't have to do that. It stores all settings and bundles in the folder the program resides in. This program is written in AutoHotkey, a free, open-source (scripting) utility for Windows.
If you find this inconvenient, edit one of the snippets and change the shortcut or shorthand. Note: although Lintalist can expand abbreviations it is not intended to replicate or replace the native AutoHotkey Hotstrings features, see /docs/Hotstrings.htm for an introduction and description of all the options. If a shortcut is found in multiple active bundles a pop-up-menu will appear so you can choose which snippet & bundle you prefer. So, in your HTML file the shortcut ctrl+b can insert at the caret position (or wrap the tag around the selected text) and while editing your CSS file the shortcut ctrl+b can insert font-style: bold at the caret position. Some might compare it to the "tag list" or "clip libraries" you might find in many text editors.īundles and Snippets can be edited using the Lintalist Bundle & Snippet Editors OR in your preferred text editor.įor example: If you are editing a HTML file, Lintalist could use both a HTML and CSS bundle, but if you are editing a CSS file only the CSS Bundle is loaded. Think of it as text-expander which will save you countless keystrokes and has a number of additional features: hotkeys, full text search, plugins and scripts. You don't have to use or remember any shortcuts or shorthands because you can search your bundles at any time by opening the search window. The bundles are context sensitive: based on the (partial) window title of the currently active program it will try to load one or more matching bundles, this will allow you to use the same shortcuts and shorthands in different applications and files making it even more flexible. A bundle is a simple text file, making it easy to understand, maintain and exchange bundles between users. The texts, shortcuts, abbreviations and scripts are called snippets and they are stored in a so called bundle. As noted above Lintalist allows you to store and (incrementally) search and edit texts in bundles and paste a selected text in your active program.
