I know it will be easy for the veterans on the site to make this, but I can't for the life of me figure this out. I would like a script that does the following in one button push:
(control+c) <---- for copy
(control+r) <---- this opens the find/replace dialogue box in TextAloud
(control+v) <---- pastes the word I had highlighted into the replace entry box.
(tab) <----------- goes to the next entry box so that I can start typing immediately.

It has to be in sequence, so that TextAloud sees the individual commands. I don't know what way to accomplish all of this. Any help please? Thank you so much!

Type:Command

Code: Select all

Send, ^c
Sleep, 100
Send, ^r
Send, 100
Send, ^v
Send, {Tab}
Or

Code: Select all

Send, ^c{100}^r{100}^v{Tab}
Add short pauses in miliseconds to allow the software some time. You can experiment with the timings.

Its so frustrating to see how overcomplicated I have been making it, and I am sure it is just as frustrating for you to take the time to do such remedial scripts like this 🤔

Either way, I am so tickled pink right now both my fingers, sanity, and ears thank you immensely. Thank you so much, have a glorious Christmas and a Happy Happy New Year my friend!!! :D
