Instant Text Automator Changelog

What's new in Instant Text Automator 12

Feb 4, 2014
  • Added {AltTab} tag. Add {AltTab} to a line, and Instant Text Automator will perform an Alt-Tab window switch for you at the end of that line, and before a custom wait. In Send instantly mode, {AltTab} uses the line delay to pace its keypresses. In Simulate mode, it uses the key delay.
  • Fixed bug with line delay.

New in Instant Text Automator 11 (Jul 16, 2013)

  • Added alternative Send mode for more compatibility. It uses Autohotkey’s SendEvent command.
  • Saving an open file now retains its existing filename instead of naming it with the current date and time. Totally new files are still named with date and time, however.
  • The Line Delay value is now saved in profiles as LineDelay instead of SleepTime to preempt any confusion.
  • Removed single instance checking. You can now run as many copies of Instant Text Automator as you want in parallel. I don’t remember when I took that functionality away, but it’s back now.
  • Heavily refactored code. No real difference to user experience, but much easier to maintain now.

New in Instant Text Automator 10 (Jul 2, 2013)

  • The title bar of the window now shows the filename (sans extension) of the profile that is currently loaded.

  • Profiles now save the Line Delay value.
  • Single quotes by themselves are now saved in profiles.
  • Added an About dialog to tell users what version they’re using.

New in Instant Text Automator 7 (Jan 23, 2013)

  • Cursor-position function’s hotkey is now Alt+Ctrl+F12.
  • Cursor-position function now inserts a {Click X,Y} command directly into the command box that has focus.
  • Window now starts at centre of screen.

New in Instant Text Automator 6 (Jan 23, 2013)

  • Added profile save/load capability. All of the current binds and commands can be saved to a .ini file, then loaded in subsequent sessions. You can save your profiles wherever you like.
  • Added mouse cursor coordinates finder. Hit Shift+F12 to get the screenspace coordinates of the mouse cursor, which you can then stick into {Click x, y} to click on buttons or move the mouse for you.
  • Removed the system tray icon altogether, along with the hide-to-system-tray behaviour. This makes it act more like a normal Windows applications.
  • Removed the preloading feature, as the profile save/load system is way better.

New in Instant Text Automator 5 (Jan 23, 2013)

  • Doubled the number of available shortcut boxes.
