I wrote this over the course of this week. I needed a faster way to write college application essays, so this was clearly the most productive use of my time :P<p>All joking aside, this is the first project I have ever submitted to a community forum. This is still very much a work in progress, but it is usable enough where I feel comfortable putting it out there. Right now, I am using it in google docs to write essays and stuff, but it will work for any text inputs in windows.<p>The main issue it has right now is consistency. Windows api is hard, especially since this is my first time doing anything as low level as this. Keeping track of the word that the cursor is right next to is a pain, and if there is a better way than the one I have implemented here, please tell me. I would love any feedback that helps me become a better programmer.
