• Suggest a text expander/ Clipboard app for my use case

  Typeit4Me: The original expander, I think. It's great and offers features not offers on others. Maybe more importantly, the crew behind it (a father and son) are great. The next major version (7) is in the works, and will hopefully offer some improvements in the UI department. It's not bad at all but needs a bit of a facelift. Source: over 2 years ago

• Clipboard like menubar app for copying and pasting info

• Predictive Text app

  Typeit4me: the original text expander for macOS. The feature set is the best I’ve found for my needs and text expansion is very fast. The UI is a bit long in the tooth, but version 3 with an updated UI is in the works. Also, customer service is great. It’s a family business and inquiries are answered quickly and comprehensively.

• Fellow comment copy/posters, what’s your go-to software for compiling?

  I use a text expander (TypeIt4Me, but there are a lot on the market). I can divide up the comments into active sets, so I can have sets for a particular class or homework, a set for grade grubbers, etc. I can even include variables and hyperlinks in my expansion. Completely saved my sanity. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Has anyone tried to automate replies to common student emails?

  I don't do an auto reply, but I do use a text expander for common answers. (I use TypeIt4Me, but there are other good ones out there.). Source: over 3 years ago

• You don't have to type faster to type faster

  If you are already using Alfred[1] (with PowerPack), then snippets are your friend. Combine this with macOS's own Text Replacement[2], can cover most needs. You add up your snippets as you go along and sync/backup it so you won't have to re-do on each install/upgrade. I also found out that it is easier to use "," as a deliminator as there is no way I will type a normal English word with a comma then a character... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing

  First, I have to make a personal confession — I never liked the SMS short-hand thingy that worked with pre-iPhone phones. That was one of the reason I use SMS/Text-Messages unless I really need to. I have been using text-expansion since the early days of TextExpander[1], an app that works on iOS and macOS. However good the iPhone keyboard was, it was always not convenient to type and retype details such as home... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Getting faster at plug and play motions and using templates

  There is an app called TextExpander that you can use to store frequently used text selections and then type a shortcut to have it automatically insert into any Microsoft document. It is extremely helpful for busting through routine motions or correspondence. For example, if I want my atty’s signature block, I have it set up to insert when I type /sigblock. I have whole letters and pleadings saved in there and I... Source: over 2 years ago

• Tip: Use Text Snippets

  To help me save time and avoid distractions, I’ve been using prompts through the TextExpander app. These prompts are shortcuts that I’ve created to quickly add little instructions I feel I have to repeat often. For example, I’ve created a prompt to “stamp all code snippets you produce with a unique identifier,” which has made it much easier to ask GPT3 to go back and retrieve the code I’m referencing.
