Punctuation Shortcut (Autotext)

I have not seen this posted before but I have added autotext punctuation shortcuts that work well for me.
If you just assign "c" for a "," it gives a space after the word which is incorrect so [I]word,[/I] would be typed word c and autotext would make it word , which is not acceptable because there is a space after word. But I just found that %b is an autotext backspace so you can set up a comma in autotext as:

Replace:
c
With:
%b,
This backspaces the comma to the correct place. So by doing above the comma is now in the right place when you type a word c it would look like word,
I've done this with q (for questionmark) but with 2 spaces (for the end of the sentence) so in autotext I set up:

Replace:
q
With:
%b? (with two spaces after ?)
and the same for exclamation point set as: e replace with %b! . (also with two spaces)

This is also very handy with symbols as shortcuts.

:D:D

Great tip. :)

Is there anyway to use autotext for punctuation without the necessity of putting a space between the word and the punctuation? If I utilize an autotext comma, for instance, right after a word, the autotext does not work.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

I use this on wap when I close a url link with "[/url]". I type a space after the url link, then my autotext "urc" (as in "url close") which is inserts this autotext: %b[/url] This creates the url closing bracket like this[/url].

(I also created a "uro" autotext to create the opening wap url indicator.)

Not too useful to me, sorry. But that means instead of:

"Hey, how are you doing?"

you get:

"Hey , how are you doing ?"

Not really correct and looks no so good IMO.

Yeah, a bit too much work for those of use with 2 thumbs. Alt+n = , perfectly.

What's the point? Doesn't it take the same effort to press alt and N as it does to press space and C?
