If you want to cancel the conversion after you pressed F8, you can do so by pressing Esc.

If you need a reminder about the XSampa characters, you can press F1 to have the script show a pop-up window with the most commonly used ones.

Installing

You need to have AutoHotkey v2 installed in order to run this script.

• Download the file XSampaConverter_x.y.z.zip, where x.y.z is the version of the plugin. You can find the latest version here.
• Extract the folder XSampaConverter. This folder contains the script XSampaConverter.ahk.

The script needs the contents of the other files in this folder in order to run correctly, so you have to run the file XSampaConverter.ahk from inside this folder.
