Using TextExpander to Type Faster

6th March 2012 by 3 Comments

I often make mistakes typing all sorts of words in networking. Vendors like VMware & CheckPoint use camel case and there are plenty of weird words.

Here is a screenshot of my “Spelng” folder 1 that I use to type through non-English words and get correctly typed and capitalised.

Couple of tips – set the content to be “Plain Text”, and ignore the case of your own abbreviation so if you type the shortcut wrong, it will still work.
