@scriptogram TextExpander & Autohotkey recipe

Tired of typing the header lines before starting on your Scriptogr.am content? Gain some efficiencies with Autohotkey (on Windows) and TextExpander on Mac. The Mac makes it easier [and more pricy] - type in sg/ and the header text magically appears in your editor.

TextExpander

Autohotkey is a little more sophisticated allowing you to automate a variety of things like keystrokes or mouse clicks. I use it mostly to expand chunks of text - anything I hate typing over and over again. The following recipe allows you to have the header autocomplete when you type out sg/.

::sg/::
SetKeyDelay, 0, 0
FormatTime, todaysdate,, yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm 
Send,
(
    Title:{space}{space}
    Date: %todaysdate%{space}{space}
    Published: false{space}{space}  
    Tags:{space}{space} 
)
Return
