HotStrings with AutoHotkey are a Text Expander that:
- Quickly get you to be more efficient
- Reduce likelihood of Carpal Tunnel
- Improve Accuracy/Reliability you use correct content
While HotStrings are very easy to add and use, I take a little different approach when the text I’m inserting is long (over a couple of lines). Using the Join command for long text can greatly help readability of your code as well as do some fun manipulation. Here is the code I work through in the below video
