# Text expansions

> Note that I recently switched from TextExpander, which has a $36 annual subscription cost, to [espanso](https://espanso.org/), which is free, and, at least in my experience, MUCH faster.

>

> All of the shortcuts below still work, and I have archived the orginal TextExpander backup files in this repo. But the new espanso YAML is available at `default.yml`.

> 

> I have also published a converter to enable you to quickly go from TextExpander to espanso, as I did :)

## Clipboard Commands

> Note: These are not yet ported to espanso.

With text selected, use the following commands to replace the text with a modified version:

| Command | Shortcut | Example Before | Example After | Description |

|---------|----------|---------|----------|-----|

| Upper-Case | `\\ku` | `Lorem ipsum` | `LOREM IPSUM` | idk I do this a lot |

| Hyphenate | `\\hyph` | `Lorem ipsum    okay?` | `Lorem-ipsum-okay?` | Great for when you're having a I-need-to-hyphenate-everything sort of day |

| Generate LaTeX | `\\latex` | `x^2` | `http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=tx&chl=x%5E2` (Which is an image that renders as ![](http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=tx&chl=x%5E2) ) | Great for posting formulas in non-LaTeX-friendly systems (like Slack) |

| Italicize (unicode) | `\\textit` | `Are you kidding me?` | `𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒆?` | Uses unicode, so may display wonky in some systems |

| Remove line-feeds | `\\non` | `Hello\nworld!` | `Hello world!` | Good for sanitizing your clipboard before pasting into a terminal |

## Pinyin

**Mnemonic:** All pinyin vowels (including ü) are supported. Type the vowel, and then type the vertical bar (|) and while holding shift, press the tone (1,2,3,4). In other words, to type `ú`, type u and then |@ (because `@` is Shift+2, for 2nd-tone). To type `ü` vowels, use `u:` in place of the vowel. For example, `ǘ` is `u|:@`. 

| Symbol | Shortcut |

|--------|----------|

| ā | `a\|!` |

| á | `a\|@` |

| ǎ | `a\|#` |

| à | `a\|$` |

| etc. |
