Known problems

Sunday, 25 February 2007 New: Quicken Scheduler disables expansion of typed abbreviations!
  1. When TypeIt4Me is active, pressing TAB will not work for other users who log into your Mac. I am investigating this and hope to fix it as soon as possible.
  2. Occasionally, the contents of the clipboard will be pasted instead of the contents of the clipping and in some cases, the contents of the clipboard is not restored. I am still investigating this and hope to fix it reliably as soon as possible. This problem should no longer happen, please let me know if it still does for you.
  3. You need to add Apple Remote Desktop to the list of excluded applications to avoid erratic behaviour.
  4. In Eudora, if you copy a link to the clipboard, it will be turned into a "flattened" form after an expansion. For example, <http://www.typeit4me.com>link. This happens in spite of the fact that TypeIt4Me saves both flavors it finds on the clipboard: TEXT and EuAt. Please report this to Eudora if it's important to you.
  5. IndesignCS1 will only "see" what's put on the clipboard by TypeIt4Me to expand when you first switch to it. Subsequent expansions will result in the same text of the first expansion. The problem does not occur in IndesignCS2.
  6. CopyPaste causes TypeIt4Me to behave erratically. Quitting CopyPaste solves the problem, adding CopyPaste to the applications list in TypeIt4Me's System Preferences panel does not. Try using iClip (http://inventive.us/iClip/), which appears to offer the same functionality as CopyPaste and does not seem to interfere with TypeIt4Me during limited testing (please let me know if you find otherwise).
  7. Apple's Mail application has a peculiar way of handling space and newline characters. As a result, if you trigger an abbreviation using space, the space will sometimes get appended and sometimes not, irrespective of your choice of setting in TypeIt4Me. Please report this to Apple in case they can make Mail more TypeIt4Me-friendly. This problem should no longer happen, please let me know if it still does for you.
