Rich Text

ShortKeys may also play back text in a rich text format. Select Rich Text to display the rich text editor options. Use the editor to create the rich text replacement text or copy the rich text from another source and paste it into the Replacement Text edit field.

The Rich Text option will also play back Unicode text. Paste the Unicode text into the Replacement text field and save. When the shortkey is typed, the Unicode text is pasted into the application.

Most of the Misc Keys and Commands are not available for use when using the Rich Text option.

ShortKeys Window > Shortkeys > Add Shortkey or Edit Shortkey

Rich text

With this option selected, the edit box supports rich text. Create shortkeys with varying fonts, sizes, colors, etc. Highlight the text in the replacement text edit field and select the rich text option(s) desired.

Display text with bold, underline, italics and strike through features.

Left, center or right justify the text.

Choose from different font colors, sizes or font types. 

Colors such as clWindowText, clWindowFrame, clScrollBar are assigned to specific parts of the text box window. For example, on different computers clWindowText may be black, dark gray or white depending on the theme or custom color choices.

Things to consider when using Rich Text
 

•If the "Playback in rich text" option is selected, the text will always play back through the clipboard. No matter which settings are defined in the program it will paste from the clipboard.
 

•If the "Playback in rich text" option is turned off after creating a rich text shortkey and the macro is saved, the rich text formatting is lost and will need to be reformatted, if desired.
 

•If the application that ShortKeys is pasting into does not support rich text, such as Notepad, then the text is pasted in plain text format.
 

•Most of the Misc Keys and Commands are not available for use.
