5 STAR RATING FOR AUTOTYPE - FREE TEXT EXPANDER OWNER
by dean rosa, 2024-12-11

by a, 2024-12-05

has potential to be amazing. took me a while to figure out that I had to press ctrl + space to trigger it. I wish I could enter a keyword like "//" to trigger it. or a custom one like //hello. That would be very helpful. Since Magical removed free this might be the best replacement. I really hope the dev adds more features. a dark theme would be appreciated too. I don't need the AI features the other extensions have I just want text expansion with the variable option like this has
