I'd like to know if you can run a find and replace operation on the FK text expander database to update the abr string?

You could open the settings file in any text editor and make the changes.

Oh, that sounds wonderful!

So I'm guessing one can basically edit all instances of a specific 'MouseMove' (1740 in this case)? If so, would one first need to shut down FK, or just restart it after replacing the said, specific 'MouseMove' or what have you?

Just reload FastKeys after making changes.
