obsidian-text-expander VS AutoHotkey

I think there was another plugin which was mentioned online for this kind of embeding. It's called "Text Expander" https://github.com/konodyuk/obsidian-text-expander

Hasn't been updated in 2 years and seems to be broken https://github.com/konodyuk/obsidian-text-expander/issues/15

There's this plugin called Text Expander which may work but a) I think you have to hit a hotkey to actually do the expanding and b) it doesn't work with the current version, so you'd have to use the Legacy version, which is likely annoying because lots of other plugins are moving away from that. So we'll call that plan B.

DownloadAHK() { global wb wb.Stop() file := A_Temp "\ahk-install.exe" switchPage("downloading") Sleep 10 if !Download("https://autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe", file, "DownloadAHK_Progress") { MsgBox 0x2010,, Download failed. switchPage("start") return } Run "%file%" /exec waitclose %A_ScriptHwnd% /exec downloaded "%file%" ExitApp } Exec_WaitClose(hwnd) { DetectHiddenWindows On WinWaitClose ahk_id %hwnd% } Exec_Downloaded(file) { ; global SilentMode := true DetermineVersion() QuickInstall()

All you have to do (other than have autohotkey installed) is

But, if you just install AutoHotKey, you can run these two scripts to select a first and a second dictionary: Select Dictionaries Zipfile

You could try (and I have no affiliation with) http://autohotkey.com - then allocate the key to something like ctrl-F13 (often unused - but reachable via sending system keystroke).

Honestly, it's a bit silly of autohotkey.com to have such strict protections, especially on its downloads. You may be able to workaround by using the github releases instead which are far less restrictive.

try out autohotkey.com

autohotkey.com Go to the ahk website, click download, then choose 'Download v1.1 (deprecated)'
