   Indispensable productivity tool

   I've been using aText for quite some time, and it's been amazing. If you are typing a lot, I'm sure you would be able to optimize your work tremendously. You can have abbreviations for your closing email phrases, URLs, and whatever can come to your mind.

   Also, I'd suggest to think of a trigger character and use it at the beginning of all abbreviations. That way you will avoid collisions. I'm using a comma. For example, these are some of my abbreviations:

   • ,br => "Best regards, Stan"
   • ,sh-u => "https://www.saashub.com" (SaaSHub URL)

   You get the idea. Once you get used to the app, it will save you a lot of time and typing.

• Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts

  Cannot say if useful, but if you need to insert/copy paste text (and modifiers) there is a tool written in AHK that is very handy: https://lintalist.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Creating a listbox/dropdown from a list of choices

  Not an answer, but in Lintalist this would the snippet. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is it possible to create scripts to modify text and then copy it to the clipboard?

  Perhaps https://lintalist.github.io/ will be of interest as well (also AutoHotkey). Source: over 1 year ago

• Show HN: AutoHotkey for Linux

  I don't have a linux machine handy but I wonder if this can run the excellent Lintalist[0]. I use it daily in my support work and I can't imagine ever getting away from it (also a huge fan of Clipjump[1]) [0]https://lintalist.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Running AutoHotKey at Work

  Check out Lintalist... it's written in AutoHotKey and is a portable EXE. It might make writing and managing your macros a lot easier. Https://lintalist.github.io/. Source: over 1 year ago

aText mentions (2)

• Add suites (playing cards)

  I think I have a solution for you. I use an app called aText (there are many similar, but this one's my favorite) on my Mac and my PC to make my own shortcuts for phrases and symbols, like this. Source: 10 months ago

• How to change the date format?

  Not quite the answer you're looking for, but I use aText, so I can make my own date format, and my own shortcut, and it can be universal — and I can make all kinds of shortcuts for all kinds of other things, like symbols, emojis, and phrases. This way, I never have to worry about apps that don't have a YYYY-MM-DD option. :). Source: 10 months ago
