Tips on usage

EspansoEdit includes a filter so that only YML files are displayed in the file list. When the default folder is active the file list includes the match files from the $CONFIG/match folder. These files make up the base set of match files.

Incremental find (find as you type) can be performed in the list of triggers in the current match file.

Use the find panel at the bottom left of the main window to search for text in triggers across all YML files in the active folder. Files containing the search term are listed. Clicking on a file will open it in the editor with the first search hit highlighted.

The dialog for program settings allow you to:

  • Show line numbers on the left side of the text view
  • Show a vertical line at the right margin
  • Set the position of the right margin
  • Highlight the current line
  • Select the text view font from your installed fonts
  • Specify the text view font size
  • Check for a program update
  • Enable automatic update checks and set the frequency
