   That's absolutely ok! I'm also very open to feedback if you have any :)

   Thanks! Actually, there is AutoKey for linux and it works pretty well, though I personally started espanso because I often use different operating systems, and none of the existing tools was cross-platform :)

   Thanks! I'm currently working on a way to make this possible, but for now you will have to stick with forms :) (or passive mode [1], but I'd advice against that as it's going away in the next version). [1]: https:/&#x2F

   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 eas

   I'm sorry you experienced this problem! How many snippets were you using? AHK is indeed a wonderful tool, and because it only supports Windows, it can apply some optimizations that are not available on other platforms. I'm current

   Thanks! It's the first time I get to see Clavier so I'm not very prepared, but some differences could be: 1. Espanso is cross-platform, so you create your config once and then run it on all your machines 2. Clavier comes with a GU

   > Espanso looks like it's a great way to expand the same concept to the whole system, albeit (I'm guessing) without the contextual info a text editor can provide. That's right, out of the box espanso does not have any acce

   Hey, It's unlikely that espanso will become a library anytime soon, but I'm currently refactoring the core into separate crates to follow a more modular "workspace" approach. So if you want to write your own standalone p

    Thanks! TextExpander is a great product indeed, but it did not work on Linux and that's one of the reasons why I originally created espanso :)

    Also, the biggest benefit of this approach compared to a VSCode-only snippet, is that it works on any application and also between different operating systems, which makes it easier to collaborate and reuse them :)

    Good point, I've wrote a short section to detail the security aspects: https://github.com/federico-terzi/espanso/blob/master/SECURI... TLDR: It's not a keylogger, because it doesn't log an

    Thanks, and by the way, espanso is completely free and open-source! Though if you like it, a donation is always welcomed :)

    Espanso currently supports X11-based linux systems through the X Record Extension [1] and libxdo [2] That said, I'm currently working on another engine based on evdev that could be able to support also Wayland systems. For the linux in

    (Author here) As long as the program accepts keyboard input or clipboard pasting, espanso should work correctly. There are some programs that behave a little bit differently (such as Thunderbird on Linux), that require a couple of configura
