Does map2 support hotstringing? #6
Comments
Sorry, just figured that the docs only describe a way to use a key/hotkey to type a string ( |
This is on the roadmap and will be added in a future version. Currently only single-key mappings are supported. |
That's very nice to hear! p.s.: actually it even looks like you are familiar with it, because the resemblance of AutoHotkey code and map2 code is sometimes just uncanny. |
Thanks for the encouraging words, I'm happy it's useful to someone. I'm currently working on a big rework which will deprecate the DSL entirely and use python for scripting since maintaining a custom language that is currently 3x slower than python on average and lacks most standard functions is not feasible. Feel free to open issues in case you have more suggestions, etc., however I'll prob. address most stuff in the new python-based release only. |
Wait, there's a discord? Also what's DSL? |
Not yet, I'll make one after the python update. |
IMO, Discord is a so-so choice. As for refactoring in favor of Python - I then hope that the result will be better than AutoKey, which is written entirely in Python, but never reached a decent quality level and is currently abandoned. |
Thanks for the input, much appreciated! The chat will be hosted on Matrix, which is decentralized and has no privacy issues. It is then mirrored over to discord for people like me who don't mind using it. I might also consider bridging it to IRC so everyone can talk to each other.
I also opened discussions, feel free to open topics there as well. |
sounds good |

If anyone wants to try out the new python branch, there's now a preview announcement. The API will prob. change, but it might be easier to write new scripts in python rather than port them over from Hotstrining will continue to be tracked here, regarding other stuff please use GH discussions above. |
By hotstrings I mean what AutoHotkey means, i.e. being able to type abbreviations and the script would replace it with the full form (like FBI -> Federal Bureau of Investigations).
Does map2 support that? If so - could you, please, provide an example?
