I did create snippets for the most common ones, but we are talking about thousands of snippets here :( it'd be nice to implement this feature in the future. thank you very much for your prompt reply.

TextExpander only expands abbreviations when they are at the start of a word, so it can't do what you are asking. If it were me, I'd add città to my snippets with the abbreviation "citta", but judging from your name and your question, you are probably writing in Italian and need to use a lot of words ending in à, so that's not too helpful. :-( I'll pass your comment along to our developers so that they can consider it for a future update of TextExpander.

How do tell Textexpander to convert, say, a' into à at the end of words? Right now, it's only converting it if a' is by itself, but not when it's at the end of a word. thank you Francesco Scinico I have a dumb question: I want to put an accent on some letters at the end of words (e.g. città or andrà).
