The Running Icon
According to its system-wide nature, most of the time Asutype is only shown as a small icon in your system tray, near the clock. It never gets in your way while you're working.
The Icon Shapes
The running icon may change its shape according to how your typing is currently handled:
This gray icon with a red cross means Asutype is disabled: your typing is ignored without checking. To enable it, right click the icon and choose "Enable" command.
This dark icon means Asutype is enabled: your typing is checked normally.
This yellow icon means Asutype is in fully automatic mode: if a mistake is detected, Asutype automatically corrects it using its best guess.
The Icon Clicks
- Left-click on the icon will do the left-click command. The default command is to show the main window.
- Right-click on the icon will show the icon menu (see below).
The Icon Menu
Right-click the running icon will show a pop-up menu containing all Asutype's commands:
Asutype
This menu item serves two purposes: to be a title identifying Asutype's running icon from other icons in the system tray, and to show the main window.
Enable/Disable
To toggle Asutype on and off.
- If Asutype is currently enabled, this command will change it to disabled.
- If Asutype is currently disabled, this command will change it to enabled.
Note: Asutype only works when it is enabled. The running icon will change its shape accordingly as described in the "Icon Shapes" topic above.
