PhraseExpress has always allowed you to assign an entire folder of phrases to a hotkey, and to limit some phrases to specific applications, and now these features are combined: Popup menus show only those phrases which are relevant to the active application. This makes it easier to include many phrases tied to a single keystroke, but to constrain them to a reasonable number for a given task.Įven better, version 9 filters the popups by application. If you activate a folder while Word has the focus, only those items intended for use in Word will be shown in the popup. Switch to another application, and only that application’s items appear.Īnother feature- not new to this version, but one I’ve just begun using-is integrated Web searching. If you select text and then hit a hotkey combo, that text is inserted in the search engine of yourr choice. It’s a small, but useful, time saver as compared to select, copy, open browser, open search engine, paste. The first is more or less mandated by the nature of the program: You have to spend some time setting up phrases, and remembering to use popups or keys to activate them. ![]() It’s not a time-saver if you have to stop to look up what your trigger phrase is. Second, I have found occasional interface issues or glitches, which have been generally hard to replicate reliably, and which don’t appear often enough to be a serious impediment. (And this one actually sent an email right after the call so I can get him directly if he doesn't call back!).Third, the default is for PhraseExpress to work in all contexts, which can be tricky if you’re not expecting it. Will get an update on Friday/Saturday from the senior adviser I got. Wouldn't explain the whole not being able to reset it on the Apple side, but still worth looking into I guess.Įdit2: Called again today, still no resolution in sight, support escalated the reports/case for the engineers, apparently. Guess I'll call again during the week but at this point I'm not sure what else I can do.Įdit: By any chance, are you using Polymail? I've started using it a few days before my account got locked and apparently they have an issue with some accounts getting locked. Higher up was supposed to send me an email right after our call on Friday but never got one, so I'm not surprised I haven't heard back. This subreddit is not endorsed or sponsored by Apple Inc.
