Thanks! First things that come to my mind:
1. Espanso is free and open-source
2. If you use espanso and then move to Linux or Windows, the transition is flawless
3. It support Forms [1] and it can be extended in many ways [2]
4. You can easily collaborate with others and share snippets on the Hub: https://hub.espanso.org/ https://hub.espanso.org/
Cons:
There is no GUI yet, but we are working on it

- tnorthcutt 6y agoThanks for the replies! One more question if you're up for it: does Espanso suffer from having secure input disabled? I frequently see this with both aText and Alfred: "Secure input is enabled (by loginwindow)" (aText) & "loginwindow seems to be preventing text expansion by locking secure entry" (Alfred)... with no indication as to how to rectify the situation.
- tnorthcutt 6y agoAh nevermind, I see this when I run `espanso start`: "WARNING: An application is currently using SecureInput and might prevent espanso from working correctly." For anyone else who ends up here with the same problem: this blog post was helpful as it suggested that locking & unlocking my system might remove the lock on secureinput created by loginwindow: https://rakhesh.com/mac/macos-find-app-using-secure-input/ https://rakhesh.com/mac/macos-find-app-using-secure-input/
- federicoterzi 6y agoYes, unfortunately there is not much we can do about that, given that macOS does not give us much information :)
