The Hot Codes
You can insert a special command called hot code to a text shortcut telling Asutype to act dependently on circumstances at runtime, such as inserting date and time information, formatting text etc. Hot codes make text shortcuts more powerful and flexible, and you are encouraged to use them as much as possible.
- A hot code is always enclosed in <> tag pair such as <BACK>, <TIME:%#m/%#d/%y>, <HERE> etc.
- You can either type a hot code into your shortcut or choose a hot code from the "Hot Code" button in the Shortcut Lists editor.
Asutype supports the following hot codes:

Action Codes
The <LET> hot code defines variables in your shortcuts. A variable is a place holder in a shortcut, which value is determined at run time. When Asutype expands a shortcut containing a variable, it will analyze the variable and determine its value, then use this value to replace all references of the variable in the shortcut. A reference of a variable is the variable's name enclosed in {} brackets. For example, the following shortcut:
<LET:search-term><OPEN:http://www.google.com/search?q={search-term}>
defines a variable named "search-term". When expanding, Asutype will ask you to enter a search term and search for that term using Google search engine.
A shortcut can have none, one or more variables. If it has more than one variable, each variable must have a distinctive name. The <LET> hot code defines a variable; and all subsequent references of the variable must be enclosed in the {} tag pair. The <LET> hot code can have one of the following format:
| Format |
Action |
Example |
| <LET:name=choice1|choice2|choice3...> |
Define a variable named name which value can be one of the multiple choices listed. The choices are separated by |. Asutype will ask you to pick one choice when it expands the shortcut. |
|
| <LET:name={FOCUS}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the shortcut's hot text. |
|
| <LET:name={LAST-LINE}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the last line that you've just typed. |
|
| <LET:name={LAST-WORD}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the last word that you've just typed. |
|
| <LET:name={CLIPBOARD}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the current clipboard content. |
|
| <LET:name={CURSOR-POSITION}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the current cursor position in the x, y format, relative to the upper left corner of the screen. |
|
| <LET:name={CARET-POSITION}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the current caret position in the x, y format, relative to the upper left corner of the screen. |
|
| <LET:name={LBUTTON-POSITION}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the last left button clicking position in the x, y format, relative to the upper left corner of the screen. |
|
| <LET:name={RBUTTON-POSITION}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the last right button clicking position in the x, y format, relative to the upper left corner of the screen. |
|
| <LET:name={USER-NAME}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the current login name. |
|
| <LET:name={COMPUTER-NAME}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the current computer name. |
|
| <LET:name={WINDOW-TITLE}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the current window title. |
|
| <LET:name={APPLICATION}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the current application executable file. |
|
| <LET:name={ENVIRONMENT}> |
Define a variable named name which value is the current environment variables, separated by |. |
|
| <LET:name={ENVIRONMENT} environment-name> |
Define a variable named name which value is the current environmental variable's value. |
|
| <LET: name = {ASK} Question> |
Ask the user to enter a text and assign the text to variable named name. |
|
| <LET: name = {ASK} Question=choice1|choice2|choice3|...> |
Ask the user to select one choice between multiple choices and assign the selection to variable named name. |
|
Notes
Each of the hot codes has its own value and certain usage, but it is their combinations which gives the real power and versatility to the Asutype's shortcut system. For example, the following shortcut will search for the current word that you are editing using Google search engine:
<LET:caretPosition={CARET-POSITION}><LBUTTON:{caretPosition}><LBUTTON><COPY><LET:searchTerm={CLIPBOARD}><OPEN:http://www.google.com/search?q={searchTerm}>
Or the following shortcut will replace the current editing word by the word that the mouse currently pointing at:
<LET:caretPosition={CARET-POSITION}><LBUTTON><LBUTTON><COPY><LBUTTON:{caretPosition}><LBUTTON><PASTE>
Logical Expression
Logical expressions are boolean operations used in <IF> hot code to make a block of text wrapped by <IF> and </IF> codes conditional. A logical expression used in <IF> must be enclosed in a () tag pair. Asutype supports the following boolean operators:
| Operator |
Meaning |
Example |
| = |
Equality check: the result is true if the two sides are equal; otherwise it is false. |
Yes = Yes is true Yes = No is false |
| # |
Inequality check: the result is true if the two sides are different; otherwise it is false. |
Yes # Yes is false
Yes # No is true |
| < |
"Less than" check: the result is true if the left hand side is smaller than the right hand side; otherwise it is false. |
2 < 4 is true
2 < 1 is false |
| <= |
"Less than or equal" check: the result is true if the left hand side is less than or equal the right hand side; otherwise it is false. |
2 <= 2 is true
2 <= 1 is false |
| > |
"Greater than" check: the result is true if the left hand side is bigger than the right hand side; otherwise it is false. |
3 > 1 is true
3 > 5 is false |
| >= |
"Greater than or equal" check: the result is true if the left hand side is greater than or equal the right hand side; otherwise it is false. |
6 >= 4 is true
6 >= 8 is false |
| & |
Logical AND: the result is true if both sides are true; otherwise it is false |
(3 > 1) & (Yes = Yes) is true
(3 > 5) & (No = No) is false |
| | |
Logical OR: the result is true if any side is true; otherwise it is false |
(3 > 1) | (Yes = No) is true
(3 > 5) | (No # No) is false |
Notes
- Always accompany an <IF> code with a correspondent </IF>.
- An <IF> block can contain (nest) another <IF> block.
