The Typo Glossary is a special glossary that is always active in parallel with the Current Glossary of your Glossary List. It is mainly used for correcting unintentional typos. Note that you can also turn off typo corrections in the Usage Options Dialog.
A Typo Glossary Entry has:
A Short form that is the actual typo.
A Long form that is the typo correction.
No Display form: typos unlike other Glosssary Entries are never displayed in the Advisories.
Typo corrections can be triggered by any non-alphanumeric character (except for the hyphen and the underscore), regardless of your marker options.
With the following Typo Glossary Entry in our Typo Glossary, for example:
| Short form | Long form |
|---|---|
typing
teh
followed by a space will automatically be corrected into the
followed by a space.
Typo Glossary Entries can also be used to have Instant Text automatically correct the case of a word you typed in lowercase, so that you don't have to bother using the Shift key. Here are some example of lazy shift typos:
| Short form | Long form |
|---|---|
Finally, you can also use theTypo Glossary
for some expansions that are so hardwired in your brain, that you don't
see the need to display them in the Advisories
and expand them explicitly using a marker key. In the following examples, we use the Typo Glossary
for its automatic correction feature:
| Short form | Long form |
|---|---|
Be careful nevertheless not to overuse the Typo Glossary with expansions that would
rather belong to your custom glossaries of the Glossary List.
You can view the Typo Glossary in the Glossary Viewer using the View typo glossary menu item in the Glossary Menu.
You can add, edit, delete entries of the Typo Glossary in the Glossary Viewer.
