Question: Sometimes my phrases trigger slowly or not at all
I have noticed that, at times, my FastKeys phrases seem to trigger slowly or not at all. It's as if some software or service running on my Windows 10 laptop creates interference or "drag". I am wondering what might be causing it, if others experience something similar at times, and if ther...

Re: How to create a text (.fkp) file in Text Expander?
I have lists of human resources-related codes that I create and maintain in Excel by concatenating cell contents and the "::' characters. It works well. I opened an existing .fkp phrase file to examine the content, and worked it out from there. The ease with which this kind of thing can be done...

Re: Just upgraded to 5
OK, I deleted the FastKeys 5 folder in C:\Program Files(x86), and reinstalled by running the EXE installer with administrative privileges. Then my phrase files copied over to the My Documents folder, it seems. And running FastKeys 5 now, my phrase files are working. I figured I must have done someth...

Re: Just upgraded to 5
Not the portable version. Downloaded the installer, ran it but found no phrase files copied over. Copied them manually but still not working. Version 4.30 works perfectly, however. I am going to try a reinstall to see if that does it. Thanks for reminding me about the support email.

Just upgraded to 5
Hi I just upgraded to Fastkeys 5. It has imported my settings and phrase files, but typing a phrase is not triggering text expansion. What am I doing wrong because I am now about to downgrade to version 4.

Re: Question: Double period at end of a string?
I see. But , is also in the list of default ending characters and a double comma works fine. My question was more about me wanting to understand FastKeys better rather than to fill a need. I can use ,, instead of .. But I was just curious to know why ,, works but .. doesn't. Your answer doesn't seem...

Question: Double period at end of a string?
Please pardon me if this is an ignorant question. I note that I can create an expansion string like dtme,, but not dtme.. That is, my text expansion string can terminate with a double comma but not with a double period. Is there a reason why I cannot terminate a text expansion string with a double p...

Re: Cannot pause on 4.2.3 with ctrl 2
I have the same issue. No hotkey combination I've tried with 2 in it as an alternative has worked. I have temporarily reinstalled version 4.22.

Re: Question: replace illegal characters in a file name
OK, another update on my last post: I rolled back to FastKeys 4.18 and using INSERT COMMAND CODE worked fine. So now, FastKeys does exactly what I needed all in one go. :D Update: The problem with INSERT COMMAND CODE hanging on my laptop must have been some other kind of software glitch. I thought r...
