Real Uses of Text Expansion

14

I use Typinator for:

  1. Expansions that I wish to use in specific apps (i.e., not globally).
  2. RegEx based expansions.
  3. To replacie an accidental double space at the end of a sentence, or between words, with a single space.
  4. For expansions that require user input in order to complete. (For example, a single expansion to accompany a post on any of the DEVONThink, Photo Mechanic or Scrivener forums which includes details of my current macOS version and version of the relevant app. I may need to change/update the latter two but details of my MacBook Pro remain constant.)
  5. For alternative methods of expanding the same text (for example, an address—where you might want it in a single line if emailing it to somone or with a tab between each line when completing a web form).
  6. For choosing from a list which of my social media IDs I wish to give.
