RE: [amibroker] TypeItIn Buffer Filler

["Ken Close" <closeks@xxxxxxxx>]

TJ: you said: >>>Isn't it easier just to use clipboard ? 
 
Too bad.  No, obviously it is not easier.
 
Hot key to open TypeItIn window. (It overlays Editor window)
Click button labeled with code snippit (it "types" in the code snippit)
Hot key to close TypeItIn window.
Done.
 
Otherwise:
Open screen/window/application holding code snippits.
Drag to highlight code snippit
Ctrl-C to copy
Alt-Tab to switch back to AB Formula Editor
Click to (re)place cursor (which disappears when you leave window)
Ctrl-V to Paste
Done
 
Hmmmm.
 
No matter if you do not know why.  TypeItIn "types" (unloads keyboard
buffer) into many applications from html forms (in browser), to word
processors, to spreadsheets, etc.  Something about the way the keyboard
buffer interfaces with the AB Formula Editor window interferes I guess.
 
Thanks for the reply.
 
Ken

I don't know why. Isn't it easier just to use clipboard ? (copy snipplets of
the code to the clipboard and use Paste in AFL editor?)

I use a small utility program called TypeItIn, which allows you to define
"buttons" in which you can put any characters.  Then, when you click the
button, the characters are shifter to the "keyboard buffer" and it is like
you typed them in yourself.
 
This would be great to enter snippits of code but I have discovered that the
program will not enter characters into Amibrokers Editor Window.  Has anyone
tried this program (http://www.wavget.com/typeitin.html) and do you find the
same thing?  Does anyone use a similar program (perhaps a "macro" program)
to enter repetitive code snippits into the Editor Window?  
 
Tomasz, any idea why this program will not enter keystrokes into the editor
window and would it be easy to get it to do so?
 
Thanks,
 
Ken
