fransonline Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hi, I use the global suffix ## for shortkeys. For some macro's with shortkeys, I would prefer not to type the suffix. Is it possible to make an exception on the global ##rule? Example shortkeys: wkr Typing wkr in e.g. Word should replace it with: With kind regards, Thanks and have a nice day.

jason Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Unfortunately not. The settings for ShortKeys are all or nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunkel321 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Unfortunately not. The settings for ShortKeys are all or nothing. Maybe Frans could use the Lite version of MacroExpress's sister program--Shortkeys? http://www.shortkeys.com/lite.htm -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 This is the advantage of using Macro Express and ShortKeys (or ShortKeys Lite) at the same time. You should read this thread for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fransonline Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Thanks both for your reaction! Clear and I will investigate the hint. Frans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunkel321 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I was thinking about this last night.... I use prefix-mode, so I don't know ... But, I wonder if it's possible to use suffix-mode, but stop using the ## as global keys. That way whenever you hit the spacebar or a punctuation character the macro would activate.. IN ADDITION to this, change your existing shortkeys to include the ## as part of the shortkey. So if you used to have: addy (the shortkey) + ## (the global trigger) = Your name and address Now you would have: addy## (the shortkey) + <space> (the global trigger) = Your name and address This way you could just leave off the ## when you wanted, thus: wkr (the shortkey) + <space> (the global trigger) = With Kind Regard ===== Incidentally, I was just toying around with the MacExp Editor, and I don't see where you define the global suffix characters ... Is it in the preferences dialog? ===== Other side note: I still recommend checking out ShortKeys because of it's "global spell check" capabilities...

Because of the many programmable options in ME it's a great hint to try. Just let u know what I experienced. I would like to have all my macro's in one application, just for maintenance.
