My espanso config

My configuration for espanso (open-source text-expander) to quickly type/run different commands.

Note

This repository contains my macOS configuration and excludes private triggers. I also maintain a separate Windows-based configuration. The filter_os option isn't used to combine OS-specific configs because it conflicts with app-specific configurations.

Usage

1. Install espanso.
2. Place the contents of config/ and match/ folders within your espanso config directory, which can be found with espanso path (typically: $HOME/Library/Application Support/espanso).
3. Start using espanso, e.g. by
   1. pressing CMD+SHIFT+SPACE to display espanso search bar (list of all available commands in the current context).
   2. typing ;e and pressing space to expand into "code ~/Library/Application\\ Support/espanso/" (for viewing/editing your espanso config in VS Code).

See espanso.org/docs/ for the official documentation.

Match files

Generally, all the *.yml files attempt to be self-explanatory with a couple of file comments. I decided to expand everything after pressing space; however, you may also consider using word triggers.

List of match/ files:

• _obsidian.yml - Obsidian snippets, e.g. for font coloring
• _terminal.yml - snippets that function only within iTerm, default macOS Terminal, Warp, or VS Code, e.g. for editing/syncing espanso config, or for file/folder search
• base.yml - default match file
• docker.yml - Docker snippets
• emojis.yml - commonly used emojis
• git.yml - Git snippets
• kubernetes.yml - Kubernetes/kubectl snippets
• languages.yml - language accents (currently French and German)
• markdown.yml - Markdown snippets
• personal.yml - personal snippets
• prompts.yml - AI prompt templates
• python.yml - Python snippets
• symbols.yml - special characters, e.g. dash, ellipsis, bullet point, left arrow, ...

Note

Some files may require custom edit (marked with ...).
