Configuration

Changing the Hotkey

Edit TextMind.ahk line 12:

!#a::  ; Alt+Win+A (default)

Hotkey syntax:

• ^ = Ctrl
• + = Shift
• ! = Alt
• # = Win

Changing the AI Model

Edit .env:

OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4  # Use GPT-4 for better quality

Troubleshooting

"No text selected" message:

• Ensure text is actually selected before pressing the hotkey
• Try selecting text again

"Error rewriting text":

• Check your .env file has valid OPENAI_API_KEY
• Verify internet connection
• Ensure Python is in system PATH

GUI doesn't appear:

• Check if AutoHotkey is running (icon in system tray)
• Restart the TextMind.ahk script

Development

To modify the rewriting logic, edit python/rewriter.py:

• Adjust prompts in build_prompt() method
• Change model parameters in rewrite() method
