![]() Typinator, on the other hand, is an ordinary application. It watches the characters you actually enter by typing – I don’t know how – and when you type an abbreviation, it uses GUI scripting to select it and to substitute the expansion. This is done by pasting, which means that Typinator can enter images if an application allows this. ![]() It also means that entering a Typinator expansion wipes out whatever was on the clipboard I don’t quite see why this is necessary, since it ought to be possible for Typinator to restore the old clipboard contents afterwards, but in any case you can work around this, if you find it problematic, with a multiple clipboard utility such as CopyPaste or ClipBlock. Typinator also doesn’t require you to type any terminator character to signal that what precedes is an abbreviation instead, it watches to see whether you’ve typed an abbreviation at the start of a word, and if you have, it just expands it (and if that isn’t what you intended, Undo restores the abbreviation in most applications). Typinator also does some smart things such as letting you use the capitalisation of the abbreviation to dictate the capitalisation of the expansion (useful for ordinary words that should be capitalised at the start of a sentence but not elsewhere).
