    Edit string in clipboard

    If all you want to do is replace the minus-dash signs in text strings, have a look at Autohotkey, which amongst many things might possibly do what you want.

    AutoHotkey

    For eg. the following script, which I have modified from the Superuser link shown, can allow you to copy Strings/Text as you normally do using Ctrl+c , and if you use its hotkey, which is Ctrl+Alt+c , then it can copy a modified String/Text with all "-" signs/characters removed.

    RegexClipboard.ahk
    Code:
    In addition, if you are using the Windows "Clipboard History", hopefully it will show both the original strings and the modified Strings as they are copied to the Clipboard.

    Only thing is you would need to read up on Autohotkey, to gain some understanding of how ti works.

    Windows 10 Character mapping - Autocorrect

    Character mapping is working as Autocorrect all the time on office 2010. and every word or character exist in the character maping table according to the font type converts to the equivalent symbol automatic.

    How can i stop this or fix it?

    Key sequences autocorrecting to special characters

    I have already turned off all autocorrect options in the settings (As far as I know of.) However, certain keyboard shortcuts or character sequences insert special characters. e.g. Ctrl+Shift+M should insert a comment in Google Slides, instead it a types
    greek letter Mu (it won't allow me to type here) and "a (typed in sequence, not as a combination) will transform into ä. How can I turn this off? In the settings I turned off SwiftKey suggestions, and that worked for a day, but then it stopped working. I''ve
    tried turning it on and off repeatedly.
