Automatic Case Sensitivity

For this feature to work you must turn on Expansion Casing. To do this open the options dialog, select the "General" tab, find "Expansion Casing" and check the item "Typing shortcut as all caps expands text as all caps".

Simple Text

Fastfox will automatically upper-case the expansion of a shortcut if you upper-case the shortcut when you type it. Shortcuts are not case sensitive when you create them, but they are case-sensitive when you are using them. FastFox will automatically decide whether to upper-case the expansion based on how you type the shortcut. If you type the first character of the shortcut in upper case, then FastFox will upper-case the first character in the expansion. If you type ALL of the letters in uppercase, then FastFox will upper-case the entire expansion. It is recommended that when you create your shortcut expansions that you use all lower case letters. Here is an example:

Suppose you create a shortcut called "qbf" which will expand to "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".

When you create it, type the shortcut in either upper or lower case. Either way, it will be displayed in all upper case like this: QBF.

Type the expansion in all lower case: the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Then when you use the shortcut, if you type qbf, it will expand to: the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

If you type the shortcut this way: Qbf, then it will expand with the first letter capitalized like this: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

But, if you type the shortcut in all caps this way: QBF, then it will expand to all caps like this: THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG

Rich Text

Does not matter what case you use to create or insert. The same rich text will be inserted no matter what case you use when typing the keyword. Note that when creating the shortcut the keyword will always save in upper-case.

Picture

Does not matter what case you use to create or insert. The same picture will be inserted no matter what case you use when typing the keyword. Note that when creating the shortcut the keyword will always save in upper-case.
