Database file: C:\dna\db.txt

Troubleshooting

To reset db.txt and se.txt, delete dna folder in c:/ drive (X + ESC to make sure program is closed first) then open dnaspider.exe and press 1.

If db.txt is saved with Encoding other than ANSI and the code from the first line failed to run, skip the first line in db.txt and start the code on the second.
_{===db.txt=======}
Disregard first line
h:ello
<e->Enjoy
<x:><bs><e->
^{==============}
Press CTRL + S to save db.txt before running.

db.txt Examples:

h:ello
Press H in a text area for output (Mode 1)

<e->Enjoy
Press RIGHT_CTRL, release, then press E (Mode 2)

<x:><bs><e->!
Press RIGHT_CTRL, release, then press X (Connect)

🐱‍👤 Note

Each line in c:\dna\db.txt is for its own custom shortcut (input)
h: <e-> <x:>

Followed by its functionality (output)
ello Enjoy <bs><e->!

Keep in mind the setting CtrlScanOnlyMode: 0 has two modes for running shortcuts.

In this mode, all you have to do is press H in a text area for output.
Strand must be cleared first for this to work (BACKSPACE or double press RIGHT_CTRL).

Mode two:
<e->Enjoy
In this mode shortcuts must start with a <.
To initialize mode two you must press RIGHT_SHIFT + LEFT_SHIFT, COMMA + ESCAPE, or RIGHT_CTRL first.

Enable just mode two:
In se.txt, set this mode to true.

Mode three:
