I posted this question How can I send a string from script_1 to script_2? because it seemed better to me to segregate the each of my text expanders from a "main script" in case I wanted to make changes to the main script. iwgbtylt ="nohup python3 '~/home/IWillGetBack.py' -option& exit"Īnd, of course, if I had created the file /home/IWillGetBack.py. iwgbtylt into a terminal if the following line were in my. Pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'v') # ctrl-v pastes. X = '''I will get back to you later today.''' I could run Python scripts from a terminal that would paste into, say, a text document I was working on or a Gmail I was composing, if the Python scripts contained the following information. alias paste-script-1="nohup python3 '~/home/script-1.py' -option& exit"Īlias paste-script-2="nohup python3 '~/home/script-2.py' -option& exit"Īlias paste-script-3="nohup python3 '~/home/script-3.py' -option& exit" Think of it as a Text Expander for Windows.
#AUTO TEXT EXPANDER DATE INSTALL#
I wanted a simpler, more reliable solution that AutoKey that would not require me to install an application that might become essentially orphaned.Īfter some research I found that by adding the following lines. Jitbit AutoText is an automatic typing software - it autotypes the same text snippet over and over with less keystrokes. It works pretty well but it crashes sometimes and is no longer being actively developed.Įssentially I use AutoKey as a text expander. I've been using AutoKey on Linux (which is different than, and distinct, from the similarly named Auto HotKey which runs on Windows) for about 6 or 7 years. By the way, as an aside, I presume my solution would work on Macintosh OS as well. I am only looking for a solution that works on Linux.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to create a simple text expander using Python.
