Click on the 'e' to see a list of all of your triggers.\nIf you want to start **Espanso Triggers** on every boot, add it to your login items (Apple menu \u003e System Preferences \u003e Users \u0026 Groups \u003e Login Items)\n\n## How to remove the now superfluous old Espanso 'e'\nThe standard Espanso menulet is no longer needed as all functions are included in **Espanso Triggers**.\nIf you want to hide the original menulet select \"Edit triggers…\" and the default YAML file is opened. \nAdd `show_icon: false` at the top of the file and save the changes. \nAfter restarting Espanso (select the *Pause Espanso* menu item and afterwards the *Restart Espanso* menu item) only the **Espanso Triggers** 'e' will be displayed.  \n\n## Multiple trigger files\nWhen there are more than one YAML trigger file in the Espanso directory `Preferences/espanso` the triggers will be listed in groups with the filename as group name e.g `work.yml` becomes\n![](img/multipleymlfiles-work.jpg)\n\n## How to add comments to triggers\nTo help you to memorize your different triggers a short comment can be added right after the trigger\n\n`trigger: \"+hphone\" # private`\n\n`trigger: \"+bphone\" # business`\n\n![](img/bphonehphone.jpg)\n\n## How to use your own text editor\n*Edit triggers…* opens the file ‘default.yml‘ in the standard text editor.\n\nTo use your own editor change the *open -e* command in line #15 of *Espanso Triggers.app/Contents/Resources/script* to ‘open -a \"YourEditor\" -e $HOME/Library/Preferences/espanso/default.yml‘.\n\ne.g. if you want to use [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/)\n`open -a \"Visual Studio Code\" -e $HOME/Library/Preferences/espanso/default.yml`\n\n## History\n2021-04-22 Initial Release\n\n2021-05-05 NEW group triggers by file, FIX remove empty line from package sub menu\n\n### Disclaimer\nThe menulet is provided as is.
