There are several different types of macros in TextExpander. This is where the macros we’re going to discuss in this post can really come in handy. However, many times the text you end up typing repeatedly has variable or optional content.
And if this was the only way you ever used TextExpander, the app would still be well worth the $35 list price because it would still save you a ton of time.
So at its core, TextExpander is exactly what it sounds like – a program that expands text. For example, I have an abbreviation “xplan” that expands to the snippet of one of my favorite quotes, “those who fail to plan, plan to fail”. For example, an abbreviation like “tyvm” might expand to the the snippet “thank you very much”. In TextExpander terms, a “snippet” is what is displayed when you type the assigned TextExpander abbreviation.
Thanh recently wrote about the basic features of TextExpander and how he uses it on a daily basis, and in this post I want to dive in a little deeper by showing you how you can use the different macro types that are available in TextExpander to create your own (and more complex) “snippets”. TextExpander is just one of several text expansion apps available for Mac, but amongst Mac nerds that I respect, TextExpander is widely considered the most popular and the most powerful.
