Beeftext
Beeftext makes your typing life easier. An open-source text substitution tool for Windows. Combos are text shortcuts associated with substitution text. Perform your combos in any application. Beeftext works in any application that supports copy/paste. Beeftext is made for you. Beeftext allows you to define combos. A Combo associates a short word that you are unlikely to type in a normal situation (a keyword) with a piece of long or complex text you often need to type (a snippet). From now on, every time you type the keyword, in any text area of any application that supports copy/paste (99.9% of them do), the combo is triggered and Beeftext automatically replaces the keyword with its associated snippet. Thanks to Unicode encoding, this text can be in any language, using any kind of character, even exotic ones. Text substitution tools are not new. Beeftext is free, as in free beer, and contains no ads or malware.
