ShortHand abbreviation expander - help


Posted: Oct 10, 2012

How can I get the expander to print out the expansions quicker. In other words, when the abbreviation is expandeded on the page, it takes a while because it expands as if it is being type and not just pop up on the page.

Try changing the setting in File/Preferences - aml

To "simulate clipboard paste" instead of "simulate keystrokes" and see if that helps.

you can also go under prefences and chance the pause to 0 and 1 key stroke.
