That's it for the basic usage, refer to the official documentation for the advanced options.
TEXTEXPANDER MARKDOWN SNIPPETS WINDOWS
Open the Windows Task Manager and you will see it running as "AutoHotKey Unicode". Lintalist is a script written for AutoHotKey, in fact the executable is AuToHotKey.exe renamed to Lintalist and a custom icon. You can add these to the snippet, when you paste it, the result will contain the data from the plugin. The right-click context in the snippet editor has various options like the current date and time, clipboard item, variable, etc. The keyboard shortcuts in Lintalist can be customized from the Configuration menu.
The tray icon's context menu isn't that useful in my opinion because it doesn't have options that you may use while writing, it is more of a snippet/bundle management menu. It seemed to have matched the xt in cxt.ĭouble clicking the tray icon brings the search interface into view. I searched for cxt (context) and it found 2 results, one of which contained the word "context" while the other had "text". From what I can tell it searches for the letters in the keyword. Magic Search is an experimental one with no proper official description. RegEx stands for regular expression search patterns that can find matches based on partial keywords. Fuzzy search is a flexible one that may not be an exact match, but is similar. Regular is the normal text search with exact matches of the keyword. Select the one you want, then use the search bar, and Lintalist will use the selected algorithm. These are: Regular, Fuzzy, RegEX and Magic. There are four kinds of search options available in the top right corner of the interface. You can move snippets from one bundle to another using the Edit menu.
To switch to a different one, use the Bundle menu. You can create custom ones by using the bundles manager (F10). Bundles are saved as plain text documents. Hotkeys and Shorthands are global, i.e., you don't need to have the Lintalist search window open for them to work (the program must be running in the background).
So when you type the letters ghx, it will be replaced with the corresponding snippet. Let's assign ghx as the abbreviation for the snippet. The next time you use the key combo, it will paste the content in Part 1 of the snippet. The program has to be restarted to apply the changes. Click the field next to "Hotkey" and press the desired key. Open the Snippet Editor and create/edit a snippet. Similarly, you can optionally set a shorthand (abbreviation) for each snippet, which helps in searching for it quickly. Shorthand, and HotkeyĪ hotkey can be assigned to every snippet for quick pasting to the active window. The tray icon menu can be used to pause scripts. The third part, is called "Script" which you can use to run a custom Script. Double clicking on a snippet will paste it to the active window. The content in part two can be pasted using Shift + Enter. The specialty of Lintalist is that each snippet can contain two different phrases. Say I am working in Microsoft Word, and want to paste the snippet from my previous example, I can search for "ghacks", select the result and hit enter to paste the phrase.
Hit the Enter key to paste the highlighted snippet in the current window (browser, text editor, email client, etc). When you hit Caps Lock to bring up the search window and search for one of the words in the snippet (ghacks), it will filter the snippets to display the ones which contain the keyword.
TEXTEXPANDER MARKDOWN SNIPPETS CODE
You can also use Lintalist for adding code snippets for HTML tags and CSS. The application supports Markdown text formatting, just the use normal markdown syntax and paste the snippet in an application that supports the format and it works. Enter the text content that you want to use in Part one. Use it to add new snippets or edit existing ones. A pop-up window should appear, this is the Snippet Editor Window. Creating a SnippetĬlick the Edit Menu or use the F7 key to add a new Snippet. So in case you need to use it for typing in CAPS, or for some other program, you'll either need to change the hotkey from Lintalist's settings (StartOmniSearchHotKey) or exit the application. Note: The program uses the Caps Lock key as the global shortcut. The window opens at the location of the cursor. It opens the search which it calls "Omni Search window" use it view your snippets and search for them. Bring it up quickly by using the Caps Lock key. A quick start guide is displayed on start up but it only explains the basics. The program is portable, when running it for the first time, it asks you whether you'd like it to auto-start with Windows.
