Hello,
With APPLESCRIPT only, I would like to make abbreviations to type faster. In any application, if I type the short string (left side) followed by SPACE or TAB, I will get automatically the long string (right side). Can APPLESCRIPT do this, how?
Thanks in advance and regards.
You’re asking if Applescript can watch all the text typed for any application and perform text substitutions (shortcut expansion)?
If it’s possible, it sounds messy and I wouldn’t recommend it. Unless maybe there are some Applescript Objective C tricks to implement it that I don’t know about.
Because I use my abbreviations almost/only in Chrome, the extension ProKeys is perfect for my needs. And it allowes me to export/import my abbreviations to use them in Chrome on another iMac
Thanks in advance and regards
