Types in HTML phrases: I've defined "ahr" to yield " ".Similarly, "geu" leads to, "cgu" leads to, "tbu" turns into, etc. Rather than dig it up every time I need to paste it into a message, I just type "emu" and it pastes it in. Types in long URLs: My e-mail management report has a rather long URL.Similarly, "ce" becomes "customer experience", "env" becomes "environment", and so on. I use the word "experience" a lot, but in typeit4me I just type "ex". Expands my custom-defined shorthand: Some words are both common and lengthy.Over the years, I've added all of my most common misspellings, so now I can blaze on the keyboard and watch in amusement as Typeit4me instantly fixes the misspellings in my cursor's wake. I can type a lot faster now, since I don't have to worry about common misspellings slowing me down. Corrects misspellings: "teh" becomes "the".The abbreviation-expansion function is all typeit4me does, but that one function has enormous ramifications for every computer user on the planet. For example, if I type "cg" and hit the space bar, "cg" instantly turns into "Creative Good". When you type an abbreviation and then hit the trigger (usually the space bar or any punctuation mark, depending on your preferences), the abbreviation instantly gets replaced with the trigger. Here's how it works: you define abbreviations and associated expansions in typeit4me.
#TYPEIT4ME MAC WINDOWS#
(For Windows users, ActiveWords - offers similar functionality, though I haven't used it.) Typeit4me works across every application, OSX and in Classic mode: BBEdit, Safari, Finder - even MS Office apps bend to its will.
Typeit4me ( ) is a Mac-only shareware app - it costs $27, 25 euros, or £16 for a single user. I'd go further and say you're hardly using your computer at all until you include typeit4me in your daily computer usage. If you're not an avid, constant user of typeit4me, you're not really getting things done. Mark’s done a lot since then, including his outstanding “ Email Management Report” and the thought-provoking essay, “ Bit Literacy.” You probably know him best for the instructive and often hilarious " This is Broken." He’s also given me a little bit of back channel on some upcoming stuff he’s working on that I know will make you guys all giddy, but for today, let’s have a look at his review of Typeit4me, an OSX productivity tool I’ve just recently started using again myself (used to love it back in the day on OS 9). “The Good Easy” was my first exposure to a UNIXy, streamlined approach to using a Mac-to strip away unnecessary cruft and uber-apps to increase productivity and simplify workflow. Mark Hurst first appeared on my radar screen about 4 years ago when I happened across his brilliant “ The Good Easy,” a very practical-but polemical for its time-manifesto on setting up your OS 9 Macintosh. In addition to our new domain name more or less working ( finally), it’s also my honor to present our first guest post, brought to us today by Mark Hurst. This is a bit of a milestone day for 43 Folders.
