Client Configurator

The Client Configurator lets you customize how Instant Text interacts with a specific client application. It is displayed when you click on the Client Configurator button Client Configurator button or by typing the Ctrl+/. shortcut. 

The Client Configurator shows the settings for the currently active application.
While the Client Configurator is open, you can switch the focus to the application of your choice with your mouse or with Alt+Tab and the Client Configurator will then show the settings for the given application.

Use Instant Text With This Application

Check Use Instant Text With This Application if you want to use Instant Text with the current application. If unchecked, Instant Text will not interact at all with the current application. 

By default, Instant Text will interact with any Client Application: note that you can change that default in the Usage Options Dialog by unchecking Use Instant Text globally.

Instant Text Follows Application Automatically

Check Instant Text Follows Application Automatically if you want to enable Instant Text to automatically dock to your application window when it gets the focus. The Dock To Current Window checkbox lets you specify if you want docking or not for the currently active window. For example in Notepad you want Instant Text to dock to the main window but not to the File Open or Save dialogs. In practice, while working in your client application with a given window, you can toggle the docking on or off by using the Ctrl+/D shortcut and Instant Text will remember that this is your preferred setting for that window. 

Uncheck Instant Text Follows Application Automatically if you want to position Instant Text manually.
