What is Reddit's opinion of Texpand Plus - Abbreviation expansion typing aid?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You're welcome.

>One thing I couldn't determine from the above was what to type in the text field of the application to activate the timestamp.

You can't fire the task simply by typing some kind of hot-string (like in AHK), you need to run the task with some sort of shortcut (or just an hint...by shaking the phone [need a shake event profile linked to the task]).

>Also, I enabled the Tasker keyboard and set it as default

You don't need to set Tasker as default keyboard. A3 keyboard action will:

1. Set Tasker as keyboard.

2. Write %timestamp variable value.

3. (if "Don't Restore Keyboard" option isn't ticked) Restore your default keyboard.

Edit: The following app Texpand Plus - Text Expander works via hot-strings and has tasker integration.

Rather than recommend a particular note-taking app, there is an app that can insert a timestamp in any note-taking app you currently use. It's called Textpand Pro. You can setup a shortcut (for example, "@t") and map this to whatever date/time format your want. When you enter the shortcut, a green bubble appears and you can click it and it will insert your date/timestamp.

It's really a great text expander, but should work well with your workflow.

I personally use Texpand Plus.

I see that's been depreciated by the author, (I'm guessing the other app is subscription based), but it still works just fine for me.

That'll work too!

For example: Texpand Plus - Text Expander

Although I also have shortcuts in the keyboard (I use Okb)

Use texpand [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.isaiasmatewos.texpandpro](Texpand pro) it is what you want it use any keyboard..... Consultar "Texpand Plus - Abbreviation expansion typing aid". https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.isaiasmatewos.texpandpro

Looks like it's only in the PRO version which you have to purchase, and it says "Tasker Built-In Variables", which I assume means system vars.

Watched the video, didn't show any user vars available, only Global Built-Ins. Bummer as it would be really cool to have this capability.

I think you are looking for ths?

You can try this

This is probably what you're looking for. Trial version. (Looks most intuitive to me. Max 10 macros in free version)

Alternative 1 (requires Xposed) (Discontinued; some extra functions)

Alternative 2 (with syncable PC version) (Max 10 macros in free version)

Alternative 3 (not actively listening text input though, you'll have to press a button and choose the phrase to input)

Haven't used any of them so I cant recommend one, but they all seem to do the same so pick one that looks best for you.

Edit: Looked through the descriptions and added a few notes.
