#### Smart-case X11 abbreviation expander and quick URL or app launcher

A lightweight Linux X11 alternative to Breevy for smart-case text
abbreviation expansion and instant folder or URL launching. Independent
open-source project, not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by
16 Software or Breevy. Uses XQueryKeymap and XTest on X11; Wayland-native
sessions restrict external keystroke watchers.

FEATURES

* Smart-Case Abbreviation Expander: automatically preserves typed casing
  patterns (lowercase, Title Case, UPPERCASE) across focused X11 windows.
* App & URL Launch Triggers: bind short abbreviations to open folders,
  documents, or web links using xdg-open.
* Productivity Telemetry & Dictionary Backup: track real keystrokes saved,
  estimated typing time saved, expansion history, and import or export JSON
  abbreviation dictionaries with English and Vietnamese UI support.
