Especially since one is often at the end of the document when typing. That works great. Nothing wrong with being obsessed about shaving off one more keystroke. Is there? :-) Great idea, Nik.

It tends to drive people crazy when they are trying to type “.com”. Originally, I didn’t think it was a problem, because TextExpander will only expand abbreviations at the beginning of a word. But it’s happened to me, too. It’s possible to do something that causes TextExpander to clear its key log, like using the arrow keys, and then it will be as if the .com is coming at the beginning of a word.
