![]() The order of the options is also weird:ġ) Upon launching Grammar Pane, focus is on Change for "return" but you are ready to start typing a replacement if you want. …the Bad news is, if I make a mistake right here and I try to bring the spell check, it will go to the next mistake, not the word I have below the cursor, which is annoying, because it means you have to actually go back with the cursor before invoking the spell checker.Īlso there are no shortcuts on the Grammar Pane, so you have to TAB around the fields to click anything other than "Change". The Spell Check pane can be focused now by using ⌃ F6 if it loses focus, but has it by default when you invoke it with ⇧ ⌘ :, this allows you to invoke it over a red-underlined word and press ⏎ to change the word (or TAB to focus the list of alternatives and then ⏎ to change it)… but not really because… The good news is, it is "possible" to spell check using the keyboard only, although we still don't have a nice popup like the "right click" over an underlined word. Sadly, the biggest complain is still not 100% fixed. How do you deal with this? Do you use the mouse? Do you use the keyboard?Īs many of you are aware, OS X 10.7 "Lion" is out and it brings some changes in this area. That menu came when I right clicked on the word. However that dialog doesn’t have keyboard focus and I am unable to get it, so I have to reach the mouse, click on it, and fix the problem. In order to fix the misspelled word, you have a few choices with your mouse, or you could use the ⇧Shift ⌘Cmd : combination to bring this: However, there’s one that I’d like to know how to solve, and maybe the minds behind the site can clear for me. Those exceptions are annoying (and frequent), but I guess I already deal with them (by grabbing the mouse and killing a kitten). There are notable exceptions to the above (where a dialog requires mouse action, or there’s simply no way to get the focus of a particular UI element). I just don’t use it I manage to perform most of what I have to with the keyboard and its shortcuts. If I’m writing I don’t need to use the mouse. I rarely use the mouse when I’m in “Type Mode”. I type mainly in English and Spanish and in both cases, it’s a decent solution.īut I just realized that I have a problem with it. It has its bad days, but the results are usually better than nothing. Available on most Cocoa applications by default (thanks to the underlying technology), it underlines incorrect words and obvious grammar errors. It’s a small detail that, if you come from Windows (or Linux) turns out to be of great help (provided you really care about improving your typing skills). If original word has a space in front of it, this space is now inserted after correction.Ġ4) Create autocorrection expansion (English).I am a long time OS X user and as such, I often enjoy the built-in dictionary available system-wide. Just since creating the first draft in August I've used it 3,436 times which equates to using it about 18 times a day! As always, however, I am always interested in how my macros can be improved so if anybody has any suggestions please feel free to share them!ĬURRENT VERSION: 1.2.0 (Tuesday, February 08, 2022)Īdded an AppleScript to close main Typinator window to ensure the final paste action does not paste into the Typinator window (since if it's open upon inserting a new expansion it will be brought to the front) This macro has worked incredibly well for me which is why I felt like sharing. Initial setup is easy, in fact all you have to do is set the name of the set in either the purple-colored variable or directly in the AppleScript (instructions on this are in the comments in the macro itself).Īttached is a screenshot showing it in action. If you experience issues with the positioning of the window however, let me know and I can rewrite the AppleScript to not position it. ![]() Something that took me awhile to figure out was how to position the Typinator window front and center of the front screen but that has been working reliably for me now for quite some time using a combination of KM tokens, variables and some lines embedded in the AppleScript. Even if your last quick entry was to a different set, this macro will automatically select the correct set. It requires virtually no user interaction, only triggering the macro, either selecting the correct word from the list of Typinator suggestions or simply correcting it in the Typinator window and then pressing the Return key ( ). Mine is designed to quickly add a misspelled word to a specific set. Howdy folks, there's a handful of Typinator macros on the forum but I wanted to share mine since it's a little different than the ones I've come across here.
