# Text Expander

Short abbreviations become your email, your signature, or today's date when you press **Tab**. It works in every app, because it types for you rather than living inside one.

| Type | Then Tab | Becomes |
|---|---|---|
| `@@` | Tab | your email |
| `;sig` | Tab | your signature |
| `/date` | Tab | today's date, such as 2026-10-19 |

Needs Rebind 3.5.0 or newer on Windows or macOS. No extra permissions.

## Settings

- **Expand with:** default **Tab**. When no abbreviation comes right before it, Tab works as usual.
- **Snippets** tab: three abbreviations, each with the text it expands to. Write `{date}` anywhere in a text to insert today's date. Text changes apply right away.

## Limits

- Write abbreviations in lowercase; what you type is matched in lowercase.
- Abbreviations can use letters, digits, `;` `/` `.` `,` `-` and `@`. The `@` is read as Shift+2, so it works on US-layout keyboards.
- The expansion is pasted, so it replaces what was on the clipboard.
- Mouse clicks and arrow keys do not reset what it has seen you type; press Space or Enter to start fresh.
- Live use remains unverified on Windows and macOS.

## Stop

Stop the package from the editor toolbar, or press **Left Ctrl + Left Alt + K** (**Left Control + Left Option + K** on macOS) to stop all scripts.
