NOTE: Espanso configuration YML files will take a few tries to parse correctly. Try removing some matches, and make sure it's compliant with the YML specs. Some working examples are provided below for your convenience to copy and paste. Please also note that only the following extensions are supported -> date, random and echo. Finally, note that not all espanso/rust chrono date time formats are supported. Supported formats are,
- %Y, %m, %b, %B, %h, %d, %e, %a, %A, %j, %w, %u, %D, %F, %H, %I, %p, %M, %S, %R, %T, %r
You can further customize date time formats by referring to the C# DateTime.ToString() method documentation from Microsoft.

App is in budding phase. The EXPANSION WORKS WITHOUT FAIL. THERE IS LACKING A VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE. When you want to revert to where you were typing, the expanded text is not cancelled and you have to delete it all manually. It's really hard when the replacement text for expansion is very long. We expect A SIMPLE BACKSPACE SHOULD DO THAT. Also if doing so manually, the replacement weirdly repeats a part of that replacement pair.

Excellent simple UI Text expansion app. Gr8 value. I was a long time user of Texpand (till went $10/yr,$30/4yr). I also use a ton of Autohotkey on pc. Same vein: this can import your desktop Espanso cfg (another desktop text expander, which also has lib of prefab cfgs). -> I wrote a quick powershell script to convert my .ahk to Esp .yml, and straight up imported the converted hotstrings directly into TTPro from my pc! Excellent! 😎 (Tho' you don't need the above: the UI's fine for manual entry).

Bruv! I bought this app and I would like for you to add the feature so I don't have to save and upload set file each time run. Please allow app to save changes.
