Productivity Software

Software that help us be more productive.

Autokey (Ubuntu) or Autohotkey (Win)
What: quick typing - you write a short text which autmatically expands to a defined text.

Ubu: https://code.google.com/p/autokey/ Win: http://www.autohotkey.com Install the AutoHotkey_L version to support Unicode.

Ubuntu 12.04:
 * Show the configuration: press Win+K
 * Create a phrase:
 * To trigger immediately, in "Set Abbreviation" check "Trigger immediately"
 * To enable everywhere, set "Window Filter" to ".*"

Windows:
 * Create text shortcuts:
 * You type "myem" and it is automatically replaced by "myemailaccount@gmail.com"
 * How to do it? "Edit this script" and add ":*:myem::myemailaccount@gmail.com"
 * Use it for repeatable words, expressions you are using very often.
 * Speed up auto-completion by adding "SetKeyDelay, 0" (http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic60006.html)
