Replace Word
The Replace Word feature requires typing one additional letter to the shortkey to change the ending of a word in the replacement text.
üThis option is only available for use with the Suffix method of shortkey activation.
Modify Keys > Replace Word Tab
The best way to explain this feature is by going through a few examples. In the image above, a shortkey of "wk" has been created. The replacement text is "work". Several suffixes that apply to the word "work" have been added.
•The first example adds the letter "b" to the shortkey "wk". Typing "wkb" into another application expands the text to "workable" instead of "work".
•The "g" option creates a shortkey of "wkg" and the replacement text is "working".
•The above screen shows examples of other possible words that may be created from the root word.
To create a new shortkey and replacement text, select the suffix option box desired. Then click on the word ending that is appropriate for the word.
< or + Entries
Buttons with the < sign in front of the letters remove the last letter of the Word to Replace before adding the new ending.
|
Example Consider a shortkey of "tr" with the replacement text of "treaty". •Select the "s" ending to create a plural of the word treaty. •Click on the "<ies" button. •This removes the "y" from "treaty" and creates the replacement word of "treaties". •Typing "trs" into another application plays back the word "treaties". |
Buttons with a + sign in front of the letters duplicate the last letter of the Word to Replace before adding the new ending.
|
Example Consider a shortkey of "ft" with the replacement text of "format".
•Select the "g" option to create a word with an "ing" ending. •Click on the "+ing" button. •This adds another "t" to the end of "format" and creates the replacement word of "formatting". •Typing "ftg" into another applications plays back the word "formatting". |
Custom
Create custom word endings and replacement words. Add an additional letter, such as "z" in the image above, and then enter what the replacement word should be. In this case typing the shortkey of "wkz" plays back the word "workforce".
Using the example shown in the image above, the ShortKeys window displays the shortkey of "wk". The replacement text shows "work". The suffixes column displays b,d,g,r,s,z - showing what letters may be added to the "wk" shortkey to play back different replacement texts.
