I like the update. I did have to change the shortcut since I use it for something else - but that's easy to do under Preferences as you indicated. Quick Find is intuitive and fast, and a really handy reminder if you've got lots of expanding phrases and triggers, as I have.

Thank you, Marko. Great new update and feature, as always!

But still not so usable for me, as it doesn´t show abbreviations from Phrase Files. Is it planned for a next release?

Also, updating from v 4.06 corrupted my settings files (fdb). It was encrypted, without a password. But restoring from a backup did the deal.
Also, the backups were not encrypted. Was that intended as well?

Thanks!

Thanks gustms, the small encryption bug was already resolved. Please download again and reinstall - you will probably have to use the backup again.

Regarding Phrase Files, we will try to include them in the next release.

Great update, but it broke strings beginning with "à" (grave accented a).
If it's followed by a space, I get this error on applay/save/load FK:

If not followed by a space (i.e. apé -> apé), no error, but it also doesn't work.

I also tried deleting and creating a command from scratch to eliminate corruption. And adding it to autocorrect Phrase Files.

It works with Quick Find though.

Good thing I don't have many as these, but they are absolutely a bummer in PT-BR.

Other than this, great update, specially DPI tweaks.

Thanks, this was a side effect of a Quick Find function. Should be corrected now - please download, re-install and let me know if it works.

Thank you, Marko. Looking forward to it.

Another problem I found is, if fil is encrypted without password, Quick Find can't find anything. Removing the in-app encryption solves it.

Nice functionality!

I also had to change alt+space since I use Launchy, but that got me wondering... since FK already has shortcuts and a start menu and whatnot, would it be possible to incorporate full launcher functionality?

Minor update 4.07a: Quick Find now shows Phrase File items, encryption issues were resolved.

@Gryzor,
FastKeys can be used as launcher in many different ways but it requires setting the paths manually. I prefer using Auto Complete for this but other modules can be used too.
