I don't want to use a pinned item shortcut because I have better uses for them. I am thinking it might be best done with a macro, but I'm not a C# or Basic programmer.

I like to be able to press ctrl+Alt+. and get the … inserted - in a document, in a text file, in a file rename - anywhere.

Thanks a lot.

Almost perfect, but I meant a real ellipsis 'U+2026' not three dots, easily fixed of course Thanks a lot.

I really should take the time to learn more about CF, I doubt I use more than 5% of its functionality. Old assembler and C programmer here, so the fact that it uses C♯ will help. I used to say it as 'C crunch', it was years before I discovered it was meant to be said as 'C sharp'

I've noticed the paste doesn't happen until I release the ctrl and alt keys - is there some way to overcome that.

FX: if I create macros for em and close curly brackets I would give them short cuts of ctrl+alt+" and ctrl+alt+-; and I'd hold the ctrl and alt keys down when typing the - and ", but I wouldn't see anything until I released them - FYI: blah blah—” indicates interrupted speech

I tried Input.SendKeys rather than Clipboard.PasteText -- but that didn't work.

Thanks

That's shame - I was hoping to avoid using AHK.

Thanks
