How to use

Getting started is effortless. We’ve included a sample code “hw” so you can experience the magic immediately.

Experience the Speed:
Imagine you’re working in a browser or text editor. Instead of typing "Hello World" repeatedly, simply tap CTRL + F3, type "hw", and hit Enter. Watch as the dialog vanishes and your full phrase is instantly pasted right where you need it. It’s productivity at the speed of thought!

Customize Your Productivity:
Ready to build your own shorthand empire? Double-tap CTRL + F3 to open the xPand Settings. Here, the possibilities are endless:

• The Code List: Your personal dictionary of speed. Navigate quickly by pressing any letter on your keyboard to jump to your saved shortcuts.
• Dynamic Control: Right-click anywhere in the list to Add, Edit, or Delete entries with ease.
• Simple Setup: To add a shortcut, just type your short code and the full phrase, then click Add. A clear "Add succeeded" confirmation ensures you're ready to go.
• Easy Updates: Need to change something? Select the entry, click Edit, make your adjustments, and save. "Edit succeeded" — it’s that simple.
