I use REGDIR and the plugins KEYTIMES and @KEYTIME a lot. It would be nice to be able to type something significantly shorter than, for example, HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w32tmsvc. My first thought was a plugin, @RK[alias] which would look up the alias in a file and return the full key name. If I structured the file like this
I could easily do the lookup with the function GetPrivateProfileString() (for reading INI-like files).
For the key above, I'd have to type only
(Second thought) Without a plugin, I suppose I could make real aliases out of them and look them up with @ALIAS. That'd be easy (and it would clutter up my alias list).
Any other ideas? Thanks.
Code:
[w32tm]
name=HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\w32tmsvc
[alias]
name=target key
; et c.

For the key above, I'd have to type only
%@rk[w32tm]
, 10 characters compared to the full name's 47 characters.(Second thought) Without a plugin, I suppose I could make real aliases out of them and look them up with @ALIAS. That'd be easy (and it would clutter up my alias list).
