Hello Jean,
I don(t want to use {End} and {Left 4} because the location in not always 4 characters before the string end. (Anyway; it didn't work: everything disappears as before.)
Si I used snippets/hotstring that work like a charm
.
So, I have been able to suppress the usage of 2 applications (XCompose, and a AutoHotKey script).
Thanks a lot for you very quick replies, and for QAP!
