Since Textexpander has changed to subscription based method of compensation I suspect many people will move to Typinator or KM (or both) for text expansion needs. I’m getting a bit long in the tooth so I wanted to easily select among my abbreviations when I can’t remember them, I have a lot of them. Here is the result.
This macro can display all of your abbreviation sets or just one set.
For single set operation:
Disable the first “execute applescript” and “prompt for user action”, they are colored yellow for ease of location. In the second execute applescript action locate the string “MY Abbreviations” (underlined in red) and replace it with the name of one of your abbreviation sets. I recommend you do this regardless of how you intend using the macro.
For full set operation:
Do not disable the actions indicated above or re-enable them if you turned them off. You should have edited “My Abbreviations” as above to define the default single set.
Single set operation is a bit quicker as you will not be asked to choose which set contains your abbreviation.
Heh! Obviously not Chris. Actually I did discover QuickSearch 2 months ago but have have demonstrated in grand fashion how dead some of my brain cells are. I need post-it notes for my post-it notes.
