Features

EspansoExpress is a GUI match editor for Espanso users. The graphical interface can be used with any match that does not include forms or variables. Any match that is too complex for GUI editing is displayed as read-only text and can be opened in the companion editor (EspansoEdit) in one click. There is two-way communication between EspansoExpress and EspansoEdit, so that changes made in one program are detected in the other.

EspansoExpress includes standard file management functions so that YML files can be created, renamed and deleted.

Backup advice

Espanso users who are used to editing YML files in a text editor may notice changes to the formatting of existing files that differ from their usual style.

EspansoExpress includes an option in the Tools menu for backup of match files in the active folder to a ZIP file. It is recommended to use this option on first use of EspansoExpress.

Limitations

EspansoExpress can be used to create and maintain match files. However, the GUI editor is currently limited to matches that do not include forms or variables.
