![]() I’m not going to go into detail into what specific snippets I use it would make this review longer than it already is going to be! Here are some of my favourites, though. I have snippets that correct common typos that I make way too regularly. I’ve used TextExpander about four times already to get to this part of this post. I have snippets that put all the meta-information I need when writing blog posts. Completing your email sounds trivial, but how many times do you type certain words over a month? I have snippets that have stuff I know, but I couldn’t be bothered typing out in full, like my email address. I have snippets that include information I don’t want to remember, like my business bank account details. I use TextExpander for all of these things. Talking with remote co-workers about issues.I’m a freelance CTO/Developer/Tech Writer who runs multiple websites and balances several projects at any time. Expanding some Lorem Ipsum text What I use TextExpander for Here is a gif of it in action here I am typing the shortcut llorem, which I have told TextExpander to change into a long sentence of Lorem Ipsum. I’ve never used PDFPen, but I hear good things. ![]() Smile Software make TextExpander, which also make tools like PDFPen. When it sees a shortcut, it will remove that shortcut and replace it with a snippet of text, an image, the result of some code running, or all of the above. TextExpander is a tiny program that listens for you typing certain shortcut words. (Smile, if you’re reading this, please give me freebies! I have no shame I will take anything □) update The CEO read this review and organised a sticker and a t-shirt! Ha! What is TextExpander I have been a paying customer for many years, TextExpander did not pay me to write this review, and I haven’t been given any freebies for doing it. I made that post before knowing they had an affiliate programme. After reading a post I made about TextExpander snippets I love, they reached out to me. I have also written for TextExpander’s blog before. I use affiliate links in this review however, I became an affiliate because I love the product, not the other way around. However, reviewing TextExpander isn’t my full-time job, so there may be new features added or removed that I don’t end up sharing straight away. I will be updating it regularly as I spot new things I like or dislike. Many of my reviews are moments in time I will be reviewing a particular version of some software or a specific edition of a book. I’ve been using it for several years and love it, I don’t know why I’ve never done an in-depth review before, but that is what you’re reading today. ![]()
