Gosh, I love this channel. I am new to it, but this was Recommended after subbing yesterday or day-before. I just love how you introduce an app, clear-cut to its purpose, show us where to get it, explain it, and help build our knowledge of what is out there. Thank you. So, glad that I subbed, and I'll be a long-time supporter of yours. PLease, keep introducing little apps like this. Awesome.
I'll be checking out Espanso for my future YT attributions, timestamps, and credits. Thanks for sharing this. Great video intro to this seemingly very useful utility.
Hey AOS thanks for the demo! I appreciate the friendly approach in your tutorials. Also good to see Rust apps permeating into the OS community too. BTW - Show Notes has a : other = LINKS = topics do not.
Wow! I used to work for a support team. I wrote all these scripts for my templates that would paste prefilled templates out. This might have been way easier.
On your Expansion (11:52), I wonder (or wish) that there was a way to just do block text, instead the long-line that you have. I wish you could say -expand {{{ few lines underneath it and then close with }}} or something like that. Then, you wouldn't be limited with what is between the double-quotes.
Poe Lemic I was thinking the same thing, and I’m not saying there isn’t a way. I’m not a yank expert, so there may very well be a way. I’ll research a bit more to see what I find. I would actually love a little admin GUI to create my expansions.
And a little digging pays off. It's literally right there in their first example on this page espanso.org/docs/configuration/#organizing-matches. You can put the pipe symbol |, then on the next line start your multi-line text. Just watch your spacing there i suppose, but I completely re-did my ytdesc example and it gives :=== Links === ===Timestamp === === Contact === ==Attributions === Intro and Outro music provided by www.bensound.com by just having each part on a new line in block. Hope that helps.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Funny, I should have added my reply to this, under this topic. But, I think I found a similar result. That's the way to do it, versus putting in quotes. That's the damned prolbem with my AutoText app now in Windows. You have to do all the quoting stuff. But, this Espanso does it so much easier & better.
@@PoeLemic No worries. It's never a waste of time for me to take a few minutes to learn something new. I appreciate you pointing out that I was doing things the hard way. As I said, I use tools like this all the time, and the easier this one gets, the more I'm moving to it for everything I do with text expansion.
Hi! How do I remove espanso? I've been looking for the solution everywhere on the internet but I can't find it. I installed it using terminal command. Thank you!
Hey, got another question for you, maybe you could make a video on it next. I wish wife and I had something better than Skype. We use it at home, but I don't like how it doesn't allow like tabbed conversations or something like separate Chains for our communciations. Maybe channels? I'd like a tab for Cooking topics, then a tab for Bill-paying issues, etc. But, in Skype, all of our communications just get jumpbled. I wish that there was something open-source like Skype that we could setup a server. We did something like Vox (maybe) or Tox ... don't remember name on Windows. But, it would lose communications if the other computer wasn't on. It was peer-to-peer, I guess. So, don't know if you know anything, but be nice to see if some type of Open Source exists. I've never used Discord, but maybe wife & I should set up a Discord server. But, again, I don't know enough about it to know either way. Again, love your content.
I think for a text expander, it's fairly simple to setup, but yes, the lack of a GUI might make it less desirable, but really, you could use any text editor you like.
I am answering my own question below. I'd suggest you do your block-stuff like this ... espanso.org/docs/matches/ ... jump just a little into that page ... - trigger: "include newlines" replace: | exactly as you see will appear these three lines of poetry Then, you don't have to mess with the bullshit. I hate that about coding. But, how Author created it, the "|" is so much better. Now, that's something I could adapt to. I use Autotext in Windows, and have a HUGE LIBRARY of stuff. Not using it now, but you can get so much faster. I came up with many like ... tv : to the ... f:from ... v : the ... fv : from the ... etc. And, man, did I get fast. But, I've installed a new system and haven't moved it yet. But, pain-in-ass with AutoText (I think the name), is that it doesn't have simple block line -- like Espanso. So, I would adopt to that. Maybe even put the crap in Excel (like I have now), then I wrote a script just to do one column and add the COLON or wahtever to be able to drop it in the script that I push into Autotext. And, yes, this makes you so much faster. Thanks for sharing this. And, it's crossplatform. NICE !!!
Always get hyper when i see the notification... and its always worth it 🤩.
Glad you like the videos, and thank you so much!

Poe Lemic thank you so much, and I’ll keep them coming.

I appreciate it. I presume you meant in my description. I have updated it.
What a great tool! Keep up with this great Channel! Thanks!!
Glad you like it!

Tools like this definitely make life easier.
Wonderful video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Also, fix your YT title. Espanso is mispelled, so people might not be able to find this video. Again, love your videos.

Hey if got time try Algo, it is a vpm based upon wireguard and ipsec2 protocal, i would love to see a tutorial on it.
I'll take a look at it.
What's a VP"M"?

If you used the snap installer like I did in the video, then you just do
sudo snap remove espanso

Damn , such a powerful app but with epic flaw. There is no graphic , modern GUI which will detter the 90% of the potential target market.
I think for a text expander, it's fairly simple to setup, but yes, the lack of a GUI might make it less desirable, but really, you could use any text editor you like.
I am answering my own question below. I'd suggest you do your block-stuff like this ... espanso.org/docs/matches/ ... jump just a little into that page ...
- trigger: "include newlines"
replace: |
exactly as you see
will appear these three
lines of poetry
