Text Expansion

Type less.
Communicate more.

Map any hotkey to a block of text. One keypress expands into full email templates, code boilerplate, signatures, legal disclaimers — whatever you repeat.

  • Any length of text, including multi-line paragraphs
  • {clipboard} variable — inserts current clipboard content dynamically
  • {cursor} marker — positions the cursor after paste for instant editing
  • Works in any app: browsers, Outlook, Teams, Slack, VS Code, Notepad
  • Notifications can be suppressed per-shortcut
  • Track execution count and last triggered timestamp
Text Expansion — Ctrl+Shift+E
