Text editor designed to alleviate the issues with the AMS Keywords section. Great for inhouse and customer entries too!
- Built-in International Group templates
- Custom template support
- AMS Keywords-friendly copy/paste
- Today's date/mnemonic insertion
- Automatic crash recovery
The built-in templates are pulled from a Github gist maintained by me. It will be updated alongside any International Group template changes. Any revisions to the templates can be viewed from that link.
Head to the latest release page and download keywords_editor.exe
- Download AutoHotkey v1.1+ and install (Link to current version download)
- Run
keywords_editor.ahk
Load a template from the File > Load Template... menu, or start from scratch. Create your entry as you would in AMS—the editor will automatically wrap to 80 characters.
To copy the contents of the editor, select Actions > Copy Keywords to clipboard (or use the shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+C). A space will automatically be added to each blank line to ensure proper pasting into the AMS Keywords section.
Alternatively, you can use the shortcut Alt+Shift+V while editing the AMS Keywords section. This will paste the contents of the editor line-by-line above the current cursor in AMS and add a separator at the end. This is useful when you have multiple change number moves in a single task.
- Set mnemonic... – Sets the mnemonic used by the Insert Date command
- Font size – Changes the text size of the entire program
- Date format – Changes the format used by the Insert Date command
Settings are stored in keywords_editor.json which resides in the same folder as the executable.
Special thanks to Ann Drysdale for testing and feature recommendations!
