linearmouse VS espanso

8. Linear Mouse

I haven't been using it for this purpose, but Linear Mouse should be able to do the trick:

https://linearmouse.app/

to add to the mouse/input apps mentioned, i'll add https://github.com/thealpa/SaneSideButtons and https://linearmouse.app/, the "avoid installing steelseriesengine or logi options" stack

- Settings are different per input device, scrolling can be per app

LinearMouse - Price: Free Mouse acceleration manager for macOS that allows you to customize your mouse acceleration curve.

Try linearmouse, the app is amazing, free, and also gets rid of mouse acceleration. https://linearmouse.app

LinearMouse

I used to use steer mouse and it was good, just the settings panel was loading very slow. Now I use linearmouse and it's much simpler to setup and even works with magic mouse (which steer mouse didn't do).

If you want a standalone cross platform text expander I currently enjoy using Espanso[1]

This should work for you. Free, cross-platform and works everywhere not just the browser. https://espanso.org/

Huh, didn't know abbrev had that limitation (wonder why?). Gave it a go in espanso (https://espanso.org/), and it does work there.

I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file.

It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your clipboard, so that can be incorporated into responses, which is simple but very handy.

A simple text replacement looks like this in the yaml file:
