Microsoft Windows only.
Example: you can define text replacement definition which after entering btw/ will automatically replace this string into by the way. Yes, you can define longer replacement text or even one triggerstring can trigger up to 7 versions of text replacements.
Added value (💲💲💲):
• operating system wide action: no matter in which editable window your cursor is placed, text replacement will work!
• this function is similar to "AutoCorrect" function (Microsoft Word) or iOS → Keyboard → Text (replacement) BUT system wide
• free and increasing database of existing libraries or triggerstring / hostring definitions.
