Referencehelper

Helps you to comfortably insert successive references.

Getting Started

For example: A reference like 25100-300. The right end of the reference, e.g. 300, will be continued in steps of 1. The new reference would be 25100-301 and so forth. The same is done for endings with letters, e.g. 25100a.

Hotkeys

Win + 1: Copy highlighted reference.

Win + 2: Replaces the highlighted text or, if no text is selected, the first character before the mouse pointer with the next reference.

Win + 3: Resets the next reference by one step.

Alt + Esc: Exit script.
