I just tried typing in a few programs. The tip is displayed in Notepad, Wordpad, Word Perfect, and Quatro Pro. The tip is not displayed in Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, or KompoZer. I do not know why it works in some but not others.
The sound and icon work in all the programs. I changed the Replacement-List hotkey to "Ctrl + Shift + S". It works in all the programs that I tried.
