The better news is that you can now reduce your computer time by using. I’ve been using Ubuntu for a long time and have been lamenting the sad state of autokey and it’s relationship with Firefox and Thunderbird. You know how hectic the process can get if you have tons of work or messages to type. Autokey is also a little more than I even need. I just want a quick way to expand a text snippet into a longer chunk of text. For example, I want to type sig and have it expand into my complete email signature – not matter what browser or email client I’m using. So I put together this tiny little script to do just that. There are a variety of different little things I tend to type over and over. I answer support questions for Cart66, the WordPress Ecommerce Plugin and there are some common questions that tend to come up on a regular basis. So I have saved answers for those common questions. Another example is my contact information. If I am sending a personal email I might put a different email signature with my personal contact information as my email signature. If I am sending a business email, I’ll use a different signature.
AUTO TEXT EXPANDER TIPS CODE
I also do a lot of coding and there are various code snippets I use repeatedly. There are browser add-ons that can do text snippet expansions. One of the best ones I’ve found is Auto Text Expander for Google Chrome another one is My Words for Firefox. Of course there’s also Autokey for Ubuntu, but it doesn’t work in Firefox or Thunderbird.
I just wanted a simple, centralized tool that worked with everything where I could just type a little abbreviation and have it expand into whatever larger text block I needed regardless of what app I happen to be in.
