Textexpander is a clever tool that, if correctly used, could save you
countless hours of typing. If you spend too many hours a day writing the same
old phrases and replies then Textexpander allows you to define keyboard
shortcuts to automatically type them for you. Although its not a particularly
complicated application, Textexpander still requires a little getting to
grips with at first. Its particularly useful for entering time and dates. For
example, you can abbreviate the time to the letters "tt" and the time in 24
hour format will appear. This even works for logos and images too. All of
your snippets (i.e. shortcuts) are stored in a list on the left side of the
interface you can create groups to keep them organized by relevant subjects.
Note that Textexpander works across all applications where you use a text
editor so its useful whether you're typing in a Word document or an e-mail.
If you get stuck creating snippets, there are some excellent tutorials on the
developer website. On the whole Textexpander is a real time saving that will
be of great use to editors, web programmers or just those that have to repeat
the same phrases regularly. The only problem I had was on the first few
startups, Textexpander froze and I had to Force Quit it for some reason.
