We’ve just added support to TextExpander 2.6 to specify on a per-group basis when abbreviations will expand. The choices are to expand after:
- Whitespace (the default / classic behavior)
- All characters except letters & numbers (punctuation, etc.)
- Any character
TextExpander user Miguel Brunell from Mexico helped develop an excellent use of the new “any character” option with snippets for Spanish accents. For example, one can type ~n for ñ or ‘i for í. If you type in Spanish, you may find this handy. For example, cigüeña is the word for “stork” in Spanish. Using TextExpander, you can type c-i-g-”-u-e-~-n-a and get: cigüeña!
You can download Miguel’s snippets here: Spanish Accents
Choose Add Group from File… from the + menu in TextExpander to add the downloaded snippet group. Divertanse!
Gracias Miguel!
This company is extremely luck to not have any competition because the disc label software is a joke. so buggy on all three macs i have tried it on. Sometimes nearly impossible to do simple things like selecting text, constant crashing etc.. It is advertised to work with printing directly on cd’s but it won’t even get close on my HPc5550 very disapointing
Mark: Sorry for the aggravation. Can you send an email with the details to support@disclabel.com? We’d definitely like to figure out what’s going on.
Will you develop textexpander for the iphone?
