LetMeType Changelog

What's new in LetMeType 1.81

Apr 6, 2011
  • Instead of inserting the suggestions by simulating keyboard input, LetMeType now uses the clipboard. This makes inserting special characters which are not available with the current keyboard layout more reliable.
  • The task bar symbol is displayed permanently again. By clicking on it, suggestions and the learning of new words can be toggled.

New in LetMeType 1.8 (Apr 6, 2011)

  • LetMeType uses a faster and more reliable way to simulate keyboard input.
  • Recognition of keyboard input is done in a new way, too. This allows LetMeType to work with Borland Delphi.
  • Another change makes LetMeType work with MS Intelligent Forms, which are used in Internet Explorer.
  • A list of applications can be defined to which LetMeType will either limit itself, or which it will ignore. So you can activate it in your development environment, while keeping it silent when typing emails.
  • Suggestions can be selected by clicking on them with the mouse.
  • During its automatic garbage collection, LetMeType will no longer expedite the deletion of words which have only occured one or two times.
  • The task bar symbol is only shown when the main window is minimized.

New in LetMeType 1.79 (Apr 6, 2011)

  • Adding passwords that should be ignored works again.

New in LetMeType 1.78 (Apr 6, 2011)

  • All Shareware restrictions have been removed. LetMeType is now released as free software under the GPL.
  • There are no new features, so if you are using a registered copy of LetMeType 1.77, there is no need to upgrade.
  • To make publication of the source code possible, file encryption has been removed. If you are using an older version, you have to save your vocabulary file unencrypted before starting the upgrade.

New in LetMeType 1.77 (Apr 6, 2011)

  • Words that only have occured one or two times, are removed from the vocabulary after 10 or 20 days respectively.
  • When making suggestions, LetMeType favors words that have been used recently.
  • No suggestions are made in hidden password fields, if they are to be ignored (File - Settings).
  • Closing the main window does no longer quit LetMeType, it only hides the window. The only way to exit LetMeType is by using menu item File - Exit.
  • If Numeric Keypad is deactivated in File - Settings, suggestions can only be selected using the normal digit keys. This way, the numeric keypad can be used to enter numbers while LetMeType displays its suggestion window.

New in LetMeType 1.76 (Apr 6, 2011)

  • New menu item File - Merge for adding words from a vocabulary file.
  • The state of Settings - Monitor Clipboard gets permanently saved again. In the previous version, the function always was activated when LetMeType was started.
  • Words which LetMeType automatically pasted from the clipboard are not saved if the vocabulary is set to read-only.

New in LetMeType 1.75 (Apr 6, 2011)

  • The time after which the suggestion window is automatically hidden can be adjusted.
  • You can move the suggestion window to change its distance from the caret, and the window can be displayed next to the mouse pointer instead of the caret.
  • When Outlook Express 5 was used, LetMeType was unable to enter certain characters, including umlauts. LetMeType now avoids this incompatibility.

New in LetMeType 1.74 (Apr 6, 2011)

  • Numbers can be excluded from the vocabulary.
  • During startup, the window size set in a shortcut (e.g. Minimized) was not always honored.
  • After a word had been deleted or edited, the vocabulary was not marked as modified, and therefore sometimes these changes were not saved. .

New in LetMeType 1.73 (Apr 6, 2011)

  • LetMeType is now shipped with a setup program to make installation easier and provide uninstall support.
  • No changes have been made to the application itself.

New in LetMeType 1.72 (Apr 6, 2011)

  • Suggestions and the learning of new words can be disabled separately.
  • LetMeType can quickly be deactivated and switched on again by clicking on its tray icon. The icon is visible all the time, and indicates the deactived state with a red cross.
  • "Words" may start with a digit.
  • Optionally, LetMeType learns words entered in hidden password fields. (Previously, these fields were always ignored.)
