Textpander goes universal

Re: #12, #13

Yet another example of why comment previewing would be useful here. Who can we pester to get that added?

Here's the URL to the macro here if TUAW doesn't munge -this- URL. *sigh*

Looks like TUAW doesn't HTML encoded links to other blogs. Lessee:

Sorry, it won't let me show the macro either. Sorry, but that's just insipid.

Duh. I blogged about Textpander on 15.Dec in this entry on my blog.

BTW, the href link above, my blog link, email? All Textpander macros. It's true. I have all my macros even in other people's blog forms.

For those of you already using Textpander, you need this macro:



Read the manual and be amazed.

Wow, it actually lets you import the data from Typeit4me! Seems to be working great.

this program is probably the best freeware app I have installed right now. it is insanely helpful at note-taking in class. in my political science classes, I find myself typing words such as political and bureaucratic over and over... now i can type in "pol." or "bur." and have it fill in the rest.

You're a blogger and you don't do a lot of word processing?

I've used Typeit4me sisnce 0S 8.x and can't live without it. I'll have to try this out to see if it's better. Great for typos like teh, or capitalizing I. Also was great before there was an autofill feature.

Well, it's Textpander actually, and it's system-wide. You can use anywhere you want. Word, Mail, your favorite code-editor, your favorite browser, even here in your favorite Add your comments textarea. A great little tool. Try it and be spoiled forever. And pay the Man. He deserves it.

This looks useful, thanks. I wonder if I can use it system-wide? Or just in text editors? I'll tinker, thanks! ;-)
