Shortcuts and function keys are not triggers. The limitation Typinator imposes is that you have to type a string to initiate an expansion. daily the result is added to the note in a literal second. And how easy it is to move the formatting, spacing, etc., around to get the result looking just as I want. I was amazed when I experimented with doing this sort of macro (“expansion” is not the best term here) in Typinator how easy it was to compose the macro with the bits and pieces that other expansions could do for me, and how much simpler it is to create dialog boxes with Typinator, and how fast the whole things works. I used to have a really long KM macro with a lot of actions to put this all together. Not shown, above, are two additional parts of the snippet that grab and parse JSON from the Hebcal and Sefaria sites to add dozen or so textual references and links relevant to that date to the first part of my daily note.

Typinator, TextExpander, KM and aText share a core feature set, and then each have features that do not overlap with the others. I’ve used all the products listed above, apart from Espanso, and other than the Apple text-expansion features the modern versions provide a bundle of services. I think putting these products into a single category, text-expansion, might have been accurate a number of years ago but that description in most cases is too limiting. I suggest this thread would focus on Typinator as the “February 2022 Software of the Month” topic, but because the are lots of other options in the “text-expansion” category, then please add your thoughts about TextExpander, Espanso, aText, Keyboard Maestro, and the expansion features Apple provides in macOS / iOS / iPadOS.
