Textpander - Reduce finger wear and tear
Authored by: Phosphor on Oct 04, '05 07:29:47PM

I downloaded Textpander earlier today, and it looks good so far.

However, I've found that it seems to conflict with the Control + X custom shortcut I've assigned to show and hide my dock. When Textpander is enabled from its preference pane, tapping my Control + X shortcut causes my dock to retract a bit toward the bottom of the screen, but it immediately returns to its full "show" position. If I disable Textpander in its preference pane, my shortcut resumes working.

Gotta experiment a little more to see if this will be true if I assign a different shortcut to Show/Hide Dock. Details tomorrow.

(umm...OS X 10.4.2, if it makes any difference)

I get the same with the default shortcut.

This is a known issue. I'm afraid I haven't been able to solve this one up to now. (It might even be a bug in OS X -- I'm not quite sure yet.)

Peter, if it helps to know this, I'm using TextPander on 10.3.9 and the shortcut to hide the dock works for me sans problem.

Until Peter figures out what the problem is, you can get around the issue with a QuicKey shortcut to select the Dock >Turn Hiding On/Off item from the Apple menu. That works, albeit with a slight stutter, even with the default shortcut (Command-Option-D).
