Yes, I agree with Kari: on Windows, Autohotkey is better than the XyWrite customizability. What is missing from QuickNotes (or seems to be--I haven't read the docs yet) is a command line. But I agree that replacing XyWrite with a XyWrite twin written in Python is the way to go. It would have been impossible before agentic AI. Now it will take about 1 week of full time labor followed by two weeks of part time labor. Claude and I have almost got the Eudora twin finished. Soon, I'll make it available here. --Harry On Tue, 2 Jun 2026 16:16:59 +0300, Kari Eveli wrote: > Carl, > > This may seem to be the way to go taken into account the cross-platform > emphasis of the project.
