Hi - I am looking for information to help design abbreviation software for OSX. The only software presently available to do this is TYPEIT4ME. However, the OSX version can lose characters if you type too fast. Although I'm not familiar with the design of that software, I believe it uses the cut and paste functions to replace typed abbreviations with text (because of the fact that when used with Eudora, the Edit menu flashes when an abbreviation is expanded). I believe that the lost characters occur when attempting to type while the paste function is occurring.

I know that the OSX version of TYPEIT4ME was written before Accessibility API was available, so I'm hoping that Accessibility API allows a more reliable method to expand abbreviations. I suggested to the author of TYPEIT4ME to look at using Accessibility API. However, he's not been able to find the necessary documentation and examples that would help him use it. Would Accessibility API solve the problem, and where could he find the information that he needs? Thanks very much. - Mark _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
