Yes, there were some snippets from TextExpander that I’d made in the past few years that needed to be moved over to Keyboard Maestro, but that didn’t take much time. I had merely disabled them when I started using TextExpander again-now I just had to re-enable them. In a rare display of forethought, I didn’t delete my snippet macros. It works well, and I didn’t have to do too much work to switch over. So I’m back to using Keyboard Maestro as my snippet expansion tool.
1 And although Smile seems to have fixed the crashing problem I was having a month or two ago, I’m still leery of TextExpander’s reliance on a bespoke syncing service. So cross-platform expansion isn’t as important as it once was. I no longer write anything longer than a text or an email on my iPad, and I don’t expect that to change.

My M1 MacBook Air has brought me back to the Mac in a big way. Things have changed over the past few months. TextExpander has a very efficient way of adding new snippets. Also, I like making temporary snippets to handle common phrases-like the name of a product or a company-that appear often in my writing as I work on a particular project but will never be used after the project is finished. TextExpander was the only realistic snippet solution for iOS and iPadOS, and as I found myself writing more and more on my iPad, I couldn’t live without it. This is not the first time I’ve left TextExpander- I dropped it when Smile first adopted a subscription payment model about five years ago and stayed away even when Smile listened to the complaints and lowered the subscription price.Įventually, though, I returned.
