Combo-driven X11 text expander with dynamic variables & JSON/CSV packs
Combo Text Expander is an independent open-source Linux alternative to Beeftext for fast combo-driven text expansion across X11 desktop applications. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Beeftext.
FEATURES
- Grouped Combo Packs: Organize abbreviation triggers such as ;sig, ;mail, and ddate inside toggleable groups with word-boundary and smart-case matching.
- Dynamic Variables: Render #{date:YYYY-MM-DD}, #{time:HH:mm:ss}, #{clipboard}, #{env:USER}, nested #{combo:...}, and #{cursor} placement in real time.
- Active X11 Keymap Poller: Non-privileged global XQueryKeymap and XQueryPointer monitor paired with rolling abbreviation matching, BackSpace cleanup, and XTest text insertion.
- Beeftext JSON & CSV Portability: Import and export Beeftext-compatible JSON combo archives (fileFormatVersion, groups, combos) as well as UTF-8 CSV tables.
- Live Sandbox & Statistics: Built-in interactive expansion pad, live buffer inspector, expansion history log, and keystroke savings analytics.
