TypingAid suggestions list is not following Text select cursor. #97
Comments
If TypingAid cannot detect the caret position, it will open the word list on your mouse. Some programs, such as many web browsers, do not properly report the caret position, so TypingAid cannot draw the word list there. |
Also, the version of AHK being used with TypingAid is really old (from 2015). You could try downloading the source code and running it with a newer version of AHK, but I'm not sure it will help (also, it's untested with TypingAid). |
I'm however running latest AHK, but modifying TypingAid is beyond my capabilities, I've tried to add few changes like simple

Unfortunately, as mentioned, this isn't a problem with TypingAid or AHK, it's a problem with the applications you are using. There might be a way to make TypingAid work, if someone wants to play with it, feel free to try using the accessibility library from this thread: Basically, if you can't get the cursor the normal way, try falling back to the accessibility library. Might work. |
*3.0.0 2023/10/31 ** Fixed issue with suggestions list not following caret in chrome based apps ** Major version bump due to AlexF improvements over the years Fix based on https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=67923 Commit is addressing issue raised on original TypingAid repo: ManiacDC#97
Hello,
This is a great piece of software for making my daily life more easier. However I've seen a shortcoming that is, the word suggestion list follows mouse cursor position instead of text select curser position. This create suggestions list popping up in odd places rather than where it really should be. I noticed this behavior is not present in word processing software like MS word, but in other applications it creates a lot of confusion.

I think typingAid is trying to follow mouse cursor position instead of text select cursor position. I'd really appreciate if you could try to change this behavior and make is more user friendly.
Thank your time and consideration.
