Fantastic Features

When typing abbreviation "AprLtr" it should show Appreciation Letter(both words with starting capital letters) rather than it shows Appreciation letter (only first word with starting letter remains capital). Is this a bug or what?

This is actually the intended functionality (when the abbreviation's match mode is set to Adapt replacement case to case of typed abbreviation of course); if the first letter of the typed abbreviation is capitalized, then the first letter of the replacement will be capitalized; if the typed abbreviation is all caps, then the replacement will be all caps; otherwise, the replacement will look exactly as it does as set in Breevy. Interesting suggestion though; we'll keep that in mind, as well as your other suggestions -- thanks again sandeeplohchab, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Bold - by pressing some dedicated key like Alt + 6
Italic - by pressing some dedicated key like Alt + 7
Underline - by pressing some dedicated key like Alt + 8

This can actually be done already by surrounding the text you want to have bolded, italicized, and/or underlined with %(Key Ctrl+B), %(Key Ctrl+I), or %(Key Ctrl+U), respectively (replace Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, and Ctrl+U with whatever hotkey your editing program uses to toggle bold/italics/underline on/off -- most use Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, and Ctrl+U though).

e.g.: Replacement text: This text is normal, %(Key Ctrl+B)this is bold%(Key Ctrl+B) and this is normal again.

Disable shutdown from system tray icon

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm thinking this one probably won't get implemented (anytime soon at least) just due to the fact that it would be difficult to do and likely provide little benefit to most -- however we will still keep it in mind. Thanks!

No problem. Thanks for the report -- sorry for the inconvenience! We'll try to get that fixed in the next version.

No sense reinventing the wheel. There is a great, free tool called Ditto at http://ditto-cp.sourceforge.net.

Cannot get Breevy to send in Outlook

Got it and responded.

Standard Math Snippets

Hi there,

This functionality doesn't exist at the moment, but it's an interesting idea and probably not beyond the realm of possibility -- we will keep it in mind for the future. Thanks!

Breevy abbreviations not working in any apps.

dummy@example.com (Patrick) — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:49:56 +0000

Hi Roger,

Hmm. Thanks for the info. This is definitely a weird one. Can you tell me if this happens every time you start up your Ultimate box, or only sometimes? Have you noticed it not working in other apps besides Firefox at first? Also, is typing an abbreviation in Notepad the only thing you did prior to trying an abbreviation in Firefox again? For example did you maybe also restart Firefox, or...?

Thanks!

Sort by up and down in preview pane.

Oh okay, I see. Moving individual entries to a specific position in the list isn't possible but we'll keep that in mind for the future. Also, the reason that's happening in your screenshot there is because the sorter sorts everything lexicographically (basically, alphabetically), and "#ad10" comes before "#ad2" because "1" comes before "2" lexicographically. So to get those in the order you want, you could either make the single-digit abbreviations two-digit ones (change #ad1 to #ad01, #ad2 to #ad02, ... #ad9 to #ad09); or, you could have Breevy sort by Description and put two-digit numbers in front of each description.

Hope that helps!

Hi, at the moment it's not, however that is something we're considering changing at some point in the future.

Breevy 3.25 and Google Chrome

dummy@example.com (Patrick) — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 18:42:36 +0000

I just installed Norton, and Breevy still works fine in Chrome, Firefox, and IE, so I'm thinking it might be something else. To be sure it's not Norton or some other app conflicting, would you mind at your convenience running Windows in Safe Mode (it's pretty quick and easy) and seeing if the issue still occurs?

Need some help re Outlook Reply PLEASE

Hi Thorrrr, Breevy 3.25 was just released and it fixes the issue.

Breevy 3.25

dummy@example.com (Patrick) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:19:06 +0000

Breevy 3.25 is out:

- Fixed an issue that prevented the %(cursor) macro from working properly if it immediately
preceded an %(Input) macro with no characters or spaces in between.

Enjoy!

Can you select a checkbox in Breevy?

Try using tab, that should set focus on the next element (box, entry, etc).

Cannot Resize Title Bar

dummy@example.com (Patrick) — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 23:43:31 +0000

Actually... "rudimentary" support for column resizing was added to the 3.23/3.24 code base. Mind you it's experimental, and a very basic implementation (for now) so it's not something that's ready to be made available to the general public yet, but if you're okay with that, send an e-mail to support@16software.com and I can send you instructions on how to unlock said experimental resizing capability.

IcyScreen starts sometimes 2 times

dummy@example.com (Patrick) — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:15:48 +0000

Hi Pelo, first of all thanks for your business.

That's a weird one... can I ask how you configured IcyScreen to start with Windows? Did you check the Load on Windows Start option in the Miscellaneous tab of settings, or do it some other way, such as by placing IcyScreen's shortcut in your Startup folder (which you should be able to access from the Start menu)? If you did both that might explain it -- try removing the shortcut from the Startup folder and see if that fixes it.
