![]() Some other programs can do all of those things. You can, however, specify whether or not the case of text matters (so Ttt and ttt can be separate abbreviations). You can also make expansions follow the case you use when typing them: For example, you can types Btw when you want to insert By the way at the beginning of a sentence, and btw to put by the way in the middle. Typinator ships with a number of predefined abbreviations, each stored in its own set. For instance, there’s a set of 2,300 auto corrections from TidBITS that includes common typographical mistakes (such as producitve and indentify) that are more complex than the example I gave above. I found this set really valuable, as it covers a huge assortment of typos. Typinator also includes abbreviation sets for HTML code, FileMaker functions, superscripts and subscripts, and auto-correction libraries in a few additional languages.įor example, I have about 20 different shortcuts for typing various URLs. Instead of having to remember which shortcut I assigned to which expansion, I can type Control-Enter to activate Typinator’s Spotlight-like search box (which appears at the top center of the screen), then type either part of the abbreviation or some portion of the expansion-in this example, part of the URL I want to insert-and Typinator instantly shows a list of matches. If there’s only one match, I would just press Return to insert the text into the frontmost text area if there’s more than one, I can choose the desired expansion with the arrow keys, or type more text in the search box to further narrow the results. As someone with a large set of expansions, this feature makes it much simpler to find my seldom-used (but still important) ones. If you use more than one Mac, Typinator can use either Dropbox or MobileMe to synchronize abbreviations from Mac to Mac. You can import abbreviations from TypeIt4Me and TextExpander, making it easy to move to Typinator. In use, I found Typinator expanded my abbreviations quickly, even when using a ridiculously-long example (the entire text of the Declaration of Independence). A long example, copied from Wikipedia, containing rich text and embedded images performed similarly well.
