TextExpander has other features that I don’t use, but will particularly useful for collaborative teams and coders. But I do remember my assigned string trigger, esnp ( edit snippet.) Other TextExpander Features I’m definitely not going to remember that shortcut, because I don’t use it enough.

By default, the shortcut is Command+Option+5. TextExpander includes a shortcut of editing the Last Expanded Snippet. Keyboard Maestro macro for editing the last used snippet in TextExpander For example, I type ,ht for the hashtag character (#). Punctuation Mark Before an Abbreviation: I also sometimes use a comma before an abbreviation especially if the abbreviations will conflict with another abbreviation or a real word. For example, when I type abbr it expands to “abbreviation”, and when I type bettert, it expands to “BetterTouchTool.” For example, I type paypal for “PayPal”, popclip for “PopClip”, iftt for “IFTTT”, and racheal for “Rachael”.īeginning Letters of Long Words: Some words I regularly type are so long that I just use the first few letters of the words for the abbreviations, as long as the first few letters don’t conflict with another abbreviation or actual word. Title Abbreviations: Some abbreviations I use are for expanding the title case of a word or name. For example, for my name, I use bk for Bakari, for “MacAutomationTips”, I use mtips, for “Apple Watch” I use a pw, and for “however,” I use hw. Abbreviations: Use abbreviations that reflect the spelling of the snippet you want expanded.
