Mini-Textvervollständigung

In der letzten Zeit macht mein Lieblingstool Espanso unter Linux Mint Cinnamon Probleme.

Eine minimalistische Lösung ist das Skript "Texpander" (ohne "t"): Man speichert einfach ganz normale Textdateien mit den gewünschten Kürzeln. Der Name der Textdateien erscheint dann in einem Auswahlmenü:

#textexpander #texpander

I'm not very familiar with , but I don't think it supports forms in the way does, except for its own popup which appears to be required for each expansion. I may be mistaken, however.
The similarly named commercial product, , does support forms. Is that what you're thinking of?

@smeech @kukuk Many differences, when looking at the details. And #espanso supports forms, same with #texpander?

@petervennemann @kukuk
The advantages of are its cross-platform ability and, like , but unlike and , it doesn't need a separate file for each trigger, so you can have thousands!

@kukuk Thank you so much fore explaining the difference! So, #texpander sounds much more minimalist than #espanso – I like the idea of just calling a single bash script. The espanso workflow is a bit easier, just type the keyword anywhere, but I think this is payed for with some overhead like running a daemon. Typing a keyword shortcut is certainly not too much additional effort. Anyway, text expansion is certainly boosting productivity!

#Texpander is a simple text expander for #Linux. It is sort of like #Autokey, except it works off of text files that you put in your ~/.texpander directory. Texpander is a #bash script that uses #xclip, #xdotool, and #zenity to let you type an abbreviation for something and it expands to whatever you have in the matching text file.

Mittlerweile ist #texpander so was wie mein Lieblingstool geworden. Ich kann ganze Mails mit Textbausteinen schreiben und keine Sau merkt’s. 😊

Textbausteine mit Texpander

Textbausteine helfen beim Schreiben von E-Mails und anderen Nachrichten, um immer gleiche Formulierungen (Mit freundlichen Grüßen) rasch einzufügen. Textbausteine eignen sich aber auch dazu, häufig benötigte Kommandos (ssh name@hostname) oder Code-Anweisungen (// Copyright MeineFirma) effizient einzugeben.
