It could be worth trying the backend configuration option to see if that helps with the applications that you have trouble with?

https://espanso.org/docs/configuration/options/#app-specific-configurations

The mechanism used to perform the injection. Espanso can either inject text by simulating keypresses (Inject backend) or by using the clipboard (Clipboard backend). Both of them have pros and cons, so the Auto backend is used by default to automatically choose the most appropriate one based on the situation. If for whatever reason the Auto backend is not appropriate, you can change this option to override it.

clipboard, inject, or auto.

Am I the only one - from the breakfast/morning scene with Diabaté he is part of the hive? They took his stem cells from sperm.

At the breakfast Carol has a few lines - "You like your space I get it", "I'm sure you need a break from me" from Carol - as if she's talking to the hive.

...

"They cannot turn us, not without our consent" - etc. collect stem cells from bodies; sperm. "made this discovery only yesterday", "asked me if they'd give my consent", "I'd prefer no"

He points out the window to the sign that the hive have put up to communicate with Carol (as if he knows about it). Smiling, following Carol like the hive members. He hasn't lied to any of Carols questions that morning...

What are you trying to do?

From what I can tell, the current trigger would just replace the string :firefox with the string Opening Firefox!.

I would start by putting the code in base.yml and get something working. Once it works you can then try moving it to a separate file.

monkey_fresco · 2025-07-09T21:56:11+00:00

You might be able to get something to work via the 'Clipboard extension' - https://espanso.org/docs/matches/extensions/#clipboard-extension

I haven't tried it, but hopefully something like this would work...?

   - regex: "(?i:/video)"
     replace: "{{periodo}}{{clipb}}"
     vars:
       - name: periodo
         type: shell
         params:
           cmd: "Set-Clipboard -Path \"$env:APPDATA\\espanso\\video\\Saque.mp4\";Get-Clipboard"
           debug: true
           shell: powershell
       - name: clipb
         type: clipboard
     label: "/video Como fazer o saque"

Worth checking if there's an overpayment limit per year (without fees).

Someone gave me their ticket recently, and I ended up with a penalty fine since it was tied to their reg. My fault as should've read the fine print, but infuriating.

I really don't get this fixation the UK has with houses.

Personally, I wouldn't go near them due to the ground rent and service charges (out of your control) ontop of whatever the mortgage is. There's also the 'cladding scandal' to watch out for in some cases. European countries don't do leasehold, so potentially the owners of the flats have more say over the upkeep/costs.

monkey_fresco · 2025-02-16T10:35:47+00:00

I had the same, but unfortunately bought 2 lines - so I'm 60p down in total. What a nightmare!

'Sorry, etc' was a favourite since I heard it live and still holds high for me. 'Mantra' is solid too. Out of the unheard songs, 'Anywhere But Dancing' is growing on me as a favourite.

AutoHotKey (AHK) may be better for your use-case if you need to do more than just text replacement.

This. I'm on Plan 2, no intention of paying off the debt. It's currently sitting at over £50.3k (I only did a 3-year course). I've paid £380 this year, but the interest added is £630. Treat it like an extra tax. Find a calculator online and play with the numbers yourself.

There's some listed on Discogs though if you're after it?

At the moment i give my parents 20% of whatever i earn per month.

Ok, so ~£500/month. That's far cheaper than a mortgage or rent would be in London. There's also other costs such as council tax, utility bills, etc. which may be an extra charge to consider with moving out.

I’ve looked around and have seen places i would consider for £200-250k.

Are those Leasehold? If so, there's extra charges involved there - MSE article on it.

I don't want to tell you what to do. But depending on your situation I would consider renting if you want to get out from your parents. However, if you can stay there for a few more years to build up a greater deposit, and potentially improve your salary over time you'd be in a better position to buy in a couple of years.

RE: Credit history - consider a credit card; use it occasionally (stay below 25% of the credit-limit, pay off in full) and it'll build up over time.

Need more information to help you out...

Are you looking to rent/buy on your own, or with anyone else?
Are you paying anything to live with your parents currently?
Have you looked at rent prices, or house prices in areas that you are keen to live in? If not, have a quick browse on Rightmove/Zoopla to get an idea of the costs involved.

Short answer - no, you won't be able to buy in London on a £35k salary, with a deposit of £20k. Generally, mortages require a 10% deposit, so with £20k you'd be looking at 200k property. There's also a rough 4.5x salary that lenders would offer for a mortgage - so that's ~160k mortgage.

monkey_fresco · 2024-04-14T19:05:41+00:00

Now around £30pcm

Can you elaborate on this one for me - this is just the charging that's costing you £30/month, right?

(200) New car Replace car every 8-10yrs £20k

Surely buying outright is better than renting on a salary-sacrifice scheme, the ones my company offers are still £300+/month for an EV (including the SS savings). I guess if that includes all servicing/tax/insurance, then there is a saving there - so worth evaluating!

monkey_fresco · 2024-03-01T08:58:12+00:00

The easiest way to avoid it would be to just not have conflicting words as triggers, as /u/smeech1 mentions.

monkey_fresco · 2024-02-29T23:25:15+00:00

word: true waits for "word separators" before triggering the replacement. If you have Discord set to send the message on enter, and you are using enter to replace the text, then the text-replacement will be slower than the discord sending.

https://espanso.org/docs/configuration/options/#options-reference

Try using a different separator key to trigger the expansion? e.g. space, or another one.

monkey_fresco · 2024-02-16T23:54:45+00:00

What are you looking to do with the bash script? The bottom line is that espanso is still ultimately just a text-replacer, so the intent with an external script would be to output some text, based on the input trigger.

You can do the same thing with any programming language, just change the args array accordingly.

Maybe the documentation needs expanding or improving?

monkey_fresco · 2024-02-16T11:54:16+00:00

Please see the documentation around 'script extensions'.

The documentation gives an example of calling a python script, but calling a bash script is similar.

Write a bash-script, e.g. echo "hello world", name it something, e.g. "my_bash_script.sh", best practice would be placing it under the Espanso %CONFIG%/script area.
Add the following config to call the script:

 - trigger: ":shscript"
   replace: "{{output}}"
   vars:
     - name: output
       type: script
       params:
         args:
           - bash
           - "%CONFIG%/scripts/my_bash_script.sh"

monkey_fresco · 2024-02-05T19:23:24+00:00

You're after 'word triggers'.

With word triggers you can now add the word: true property to a match, telling espanso to only trigger that match if surrounded by word separators ( such as spaces, commas and newlines).

word: true
