KeyText Changelog

What's new in KeyText 3.20

Jul 25, 2015
  • Fix for compatibility with Windows 10.
  • V3.15 users please note – no need to upgrade unless you have Windows 10.

New in KeyText 3.15 (Mar 13, 2012)

  • If you have an "Edit hotkey" set in Settings / Customize, this will now take you to the last edited or run item (previously last edited). So if you use a KeyText item and realize there is a correction you want to make in it, pressing the Edit hotkey will take you straight to the item in the Edit window.
  • To help users with keyboards which have no Pause key, the f12 key now has the same effect - allowing the pausing and resuming of a macro item while it is running
  • Fixed: the Auto-add feature would sometimes append to the wrong item after a {Selection} field was used
  • Fixed: when more than one global string variable was used in an item, sometimes their values would not be remembered
  • Fixed: After a {CallSelect...} field, sometimes other fields - eg {Ctrl c}, {IgnoreReturns} - would not work correctly
  • Fixed: the {Ctrl} field, to press the Ctrl key on its own, was not working

New in KeyText 3.14 (Jul 1, 2010)

  • The Caps Lock restore option (in Settings Global) would not work after an item linked to another item. Now fixed.
  • The setting in Settings Customize to allow a right-click of an item in the KeyText menu to open the Edit window did not work consistently in Windows 7. Now fixed.

New in KeyText 3.13 (Jul 1, 2010)

  • Detects Windows 7, and on first use displays a dialog advising the user that the KeyText icon in the taskbar Notification Area cannot be shown automatically. The dialog contains a button that opens the Windows Notification Area Settings, and allows "Show icon and notifications" to be chosen for KeyText.
  • In rare circumstances, changes to the Menu text of an item were lost when moving from one item to another in the Edit text items window. Now fixed.
  • After use of a regular expression, sometimes the result of an "Ask" field was not filled in correctly. Now fixed.
  • After use of the press/release shift keys, for example {Alt+} and {Alt-} to press and release Alt, sometimes subsequent text would not be typed correctly. Now fixed.

New in KeyText 3.12 (Jan 6, 2009)

  • Minor enhancements and bug fixes.

New in KeyText 3.07 (Mar 9, 2007)

  • Fixed some issues relating to using KeyText on Windows Vista - including fix to Trigger Text.
  • The field {IgnoreReturns Off} can now be used in an item to override "Ignore all Returns" (if that has been set in global settings).

New in KeyText 3.06b (Feb 26, 2007)

  • Added shortcut key "d" to toggle Auto-add in the Options dialog.
  • Fixed problem in "Display a message" insert field wizard page which prevented the Automatic close seconds count being added to a Message field.
  • Fixed bug which occurred if global variable names longer than 26 characters were used.
  • Fixed bug relating to auto-reset of global integer variables where a set time is specified.
  • Fixed bug which caused an item to run on past the end if an "If....then" field was used but no "Endif" was found.
  • Further updates made to program to improve compatibility with Windows Vista.

New in KeyText 3.05 (Jan 3, 2007)

  • The Help file states that to include a curly bracke in an item, two should be used, as in order to stop KeyText interpreting it as a field. However, this did not work, and the item would stop short. Now fixed.
  • Some updates made to program and help file to improve compatibility with Windows Vista.
