My Typinator Sets

I wrote about how I use Typinator and Keyboard Maestro together to automate writing in an article you can read here.

Here you can find the different Sets that I use in Typinator to speed up my writing.

The Sets can be found in this folder and here is their explanation. I activate nearly all the snippets from Typinator quick search and thus most snippets won't have any kind of trigger.

1. Words - Single word expansions of words with more than 5-6 characters.
2. Phrases - Some phrases I find myself saying often.
3. Sentences - Common sentences I found myself saying.
4. Questions - Common questions I found myself asking.
5. Corrections - Simple corrections like expanding 'eg ' to 'e.g.'.
6. Smart paste - Snippets with more complex embeddings like AppleScript output.
7. Dates - Expanding current date in different formats like DD/MM/YYYY.
8. Bash - Bash snippets.
9. Markdown - Quick expansions of badges and other things.
10. HTML - HTML snippets.
11. Fantastical - Expansions for easing entering of natural input in Fantastical app.
12. VS Code - Currently only holds alfred build task template. For code snippets, I use VS Code snippet engine itself.
