Mass editing of hotstrings
Karmba > 2023-09-02 01:32
First: thank you for your splendid software. It is a great (!) time saver.
After using it for some 2 months now I discovered it wasn't the best idea to start all my hotstrings with a "#" as it has now become difficult to enter keywords or other strings starting with a "#". So I would like to change the starting "trigger" with a comma (",") that is not followed by a space like:
",ka" expanding to "Karmba".
This should work fine, as a comma (",") is generally followed by a space " " when typing text.
Do I really have to manually change al my hotstrings or can I pull them in a text editor (VSC) and change those darned "#" into "," all at once?
Please help

Hi,
Thanks for the good words.
Personally, I use the "#" symbol at the end of my hotstring triggers because it is conveniently located on my French-Canadian keyboard. Many users are using comma at the beginning of the trigger as you want to do.
To change it globally, you can edit the QAP settings file quickaccesspopup.ini. See this page for instructions:

Make sure you edit the section [Favorites] and NOT [Favorites-backup]. -

This is the best way yet - very convenient, very practical. Changed all my hotstrings according to your instructions in one go (RegEx); worked like a charme.
Thank you very much
