Although I own licenses for TypeIt4Me (for 22 years) and TextExpander, my preferred utility at this time is Typinator - due to its vastly superior fuzzy-search mechanism and a few other goodies. The modern version still works with Tiger. http://www.ergonis.com/products/typinator/ > The first use of Textpander in MacVim 7.3 (53) after changing to insert mode > does NOT work, but after that it works!

Typinator has this same issue. I think it has to do with the fact that the utility sees the 'a' or 'i' mode-change keystroke as part of the abbreviation string. Only when you hit an abbreviation termination character like 'space' or 'return' will your abbreviations work normally again, because they are no longer prefaced by the extraneous character. This is easy to work-around once you get the hang of it. The Typinator developer is pretty accommodating. I'll shoot them a message and ask if they can fix this, although I'm not sure how they might detect the mode-state (particularly in the Terminal). -- Best Regards, Chris -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
