At some point I may switch everything over to Alfred, but I have several dozen expansions across multiple Sets, so I’m content to stay where I am for now. Text expansion is very easy to set up and execute. For example, when working on web automation, I have keywords programmed for loops, decision trees, and frequently used commands that […]
