I've had Instant Text for a long time and love it. - sm

What has changed in - Instant Text 7

is that IT 7 automatically eliminates automatic spacing after the last sentence of a paragraph when pressing Enter.

In version V you had to get rid of the extra spaces at the end of a paragraph when you had automatic spacing on via a macro. If you didn't, you could be accused of line padding.

Instant Text and VR editing - MMK

When you do VR editing Instant Text can help in several ways.

The Instant Text glossaries can be reference glossaries based on the fact that you can pull up any entry without having to memorize short forms. For instance, you can see any of the thousand drug names of the Drugs glossary come up by typing just a few letters, and then you can verify their spellings.

If you have to replace a word or a whole paragraph, your expansions will be always at your fingertips.

Most important, you can use an editing glossary where you create all the command entries that correct the frequently occurring VR mistakes you want to correct with easy-to-type short forms without your fingers leaving the home row.

To add a period and capitalize the next word you would have an entry such as:
{command}.{Space}{Right}{Shift Ctrl Right}{Capitalize}{NoSpacing}
with a short form of your choice and a Display as form that could be
Add period - capitalize

To delete a period and uncapitalize you could have an entry such as:
{command}{Shift Left}{Delete}{Delete}{Right}{Shift Right}{Lowercase}{Ctrl Right}{NoSpacing}
assuming you have your focus after the period you want to delete. Again you can have a Display as form that shows up and tells you exactly what this entry will do.
