Re: Need new keyboard

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

After 20? years of XyWrite, certain keystrokes have become automatic.
And how! That's what's great about AutoHotkey. You can have all, or
specified other, programs use pretty much the Xy keystrokes. E.g., I have
ctrl-Q to quit Xy, and it also (via AutoHotkey) quits Word, Eudora, and all
my other programs. Or, if you're used to F1 for DeFining, you can get Word
to work in the same (or nearly the same) way. And though you can't get Word
to do the equivalent of eXPanded mode, showing the formatting, you can at
least use the same keystroke you use for that in Xy to have Word show the
paragraph markers and spaces.
I also have a macro to translate  and the like into Word's italics
format (note "^" means control, and "+" means shift):
;; Below for ^+m : go to replace dialogue and put ≪MD^$^$≫ for find and _
for replace
;; then single underline, then do alt-A for Replace All, escape
;; out of the dialogue box, then alt-o to get Forrmat menu, and a to
autoformat the underlined stuff
^+m::Send !ee{ASC 174}MD{ASC 94}${ASC 94}${ASC 175}{Tab}_!a{ESC}{ESC}!oa{ENTER}
^+e::Return
