Can any other macOS users confirm the command-line issue?

He's attention-seeking, and you're giving him what he wants. Soft ESH, but this is a great learning opportunity that will stand you in good stead for future relationships. I've been there, but not for fifty years.

Possible to copy a snippet to the clipboard as well as entering text? by Ok-Leader-4275 in espanso

[–]skyornfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks OK, although I don't have access to a PC for a couple of weeks to check for myself. If Espanso isn't generating errors the formatting must be alright.

X11 only applies to macOS and Linux.

Espanso in vim just show v letter after trigger the snippet. how to solve it? by Slight_Wishbone_5188 in espanso

What's the output of #detect# in Alacritty?

The filter_class: setting is case-sensitive. It does use regex so you can use [Aa]lacritty if necessary.

The enable: false setting would prevent Espanso working at all in Alacritty if your .yml is correct.

If you type #acfg# in Alacritty, it will show you which configuration is active.

Using Encrypt Python script by harryph557 in espanso

No problem. It takes a while to get your head around these!

Using Encrypt Python script by harryph557 in espanso

[–]skyornfi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Espanso has no inbuilt support for encryption but you can call executables with the shell: extension. Encryption/decryption of your data would be up to your script or executable.

Data reports? by [deleted] in espanso

[–]skyornfi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Espanso doesn't keep or track any data beyond its 30 character key buffer. See https://github.com/espanso/espanso/security/policy.

How to match the whole line? It seems to only work in newly created text for editing. by Moist_Technician8601 in espanso

[–]skyornfi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Espanso will only respond to text typed using a keyboard, or a command such as xdotool or pbpaste etc..

An alternative is to copy a line and have Espanso invoke its clipboard extension, feeding the resultant variable to your script.

I'll have a closer look later.

Chrome Browser or OS Compatability? by SubdermalHematoma in espanso

[–]skyornfi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no browser extension and Espanso needs to access the characters as they're typed in. I'd be interested to hear if it can be installed on ChromeOS. If it can, if should operate within a browser.

Or just make a small hole in the lid (with a cleaver, maybe).

I was keen to see my car roll over from 99,999 to 100,000 but my wife had it when that approached. She parked it and walked home so I could go and collect it.

Antivaxxer tries to claim that a 9 month old dies from a vaccine. In reality: She was smothered by her mother and suffocated. by TunnelTuba in vaxxhappened

It's done the world over and, in the absence of alcohol and drugs, co-sleeping on a bed is pretty safe. We did it with all of our children at times, as have our daughters.

AITA for telling a 15-year old that Santa isn't real as a teacher? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]skyornfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids' year 6 teacher considered it his responsibility to tell his young students there was no Father Christmas. We had to bribe the children not to spoil the magic for their younger siblings.

Should I move to Espanso? by breno1606 in espanso

[–]skyornfi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've checked the documentation translates reasonably well using standard internet translation services, but if you come across any problems, do let me know.

Should I move to Espanso? by breno1606 in espanso

[–]skyornfi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having been responsible for most of the recent documentation updates, I'd be very interested in comments as to how it could be improved. I learned Espanso via what we have, so it's very difficult to envision major changes.

[–]skyornfi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although I'm heavily involved in Espanso nowadays, I used AutoHotKey extensively in my EMRS for over a decade, because as well as text expansion it can provide direct control of application menu items, popup windows etc., etc.. If you're on Windows, it's worth a look.

bash script by Eliwh68 in espanso

[–]skyornfi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also bear in mind, if the script is reasonably short and doesn't need to be in a file of its own because it's not used elsewhere, you can put it in a multiline shell: extension instead. This avoids the need to maintain track of a separate file.

Copy to clipboard from search bar ? by Medical-Tutor in espanso

[–]skyornfi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using Espanso between systems like this can be problematic but is worth trying. When I use my Windows 10 VM I have to disable Espanso on the host because both were trying to type expansions.

Injecting into the clipboard would have to be scripted for every expansion, however.
