### Targeting Windows

AutoSave only sends keyboard input, if a the active window matches a given filter. There are two ways to specify which windows to target:
* Caption matching (by normally starting AutoSave),
* Title matching (by normally starting AutoSave),
* Connecting to another application (by using Connected Shortcuts).

#### Caption matching
#### Title Matching

By default, AutoSave lets the user specify a phrase to filter windows by. AutoSave then targets a window only, if the window's caption *contains* the given phrase. This comparison is case-insensitive.

This means that if the user specifies "gimp" as the filter phrase, then AutoSave simulates pressing ```Ctrl+S``` as soon as the timer is up *and* the active window's caption contains "gimp".
This could be the main window of [GIMP](http://gimp.org), but it could also be a folder names "gimp" being open in the Windows Explorer.

It's up to the user to enter an unambiguous phrase.

Additionally, AutoSave allows the user to filter windows using [regular expressions](http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) instead of normal text comparison.
