Textpander - Reduce finger wear and tear
Authored by: bluehz on Oct 05, '05 04:56:52AM

I installed TextPander about a month ago and have been very pleased with it. I was always a fan of TypeIt4Me - except for teh fact it was a CPU hog and also crashed a lot, so I gave it up. There have been many of these type utilities over the years (Mac OS 8 to present), but none has worked as well or been as unobtrusive as TextPander.

Great article at MacGems Rob, but I was kind of wondering about the reference to accessing package contents (fifth bullet point at the top)? It seemed as though you were somehow relating that to TextPander usage, but I never could figure out what was going on. Would you mind explaing it a little better?

I think he was just saying that the text that gives directions for opening package contents is a text he finds himself writing over and over (on his website(s)), so it's a good candidate for a TextPander shortcut.

Yes, that's exactly it -- it seems I have to type some variant on that phrase at least 10 times a day, between the forums, the sites, and email replies :).
