What is a Text Expander?
A text expander is a program that detects when you type
a specific keyword and replaces it with something else.
This is useful in many ways:
- Save a lot of typing, expanding common sentences.
- Create system-wide code snippets.
- Execute custom scripts
- Use emojis like a pro.
