Prefix and suffix delimited text expander for Linux X11

A lightweight Linux X11 alternative to Shortkeys for prefix and suffix delimited text expansion. Independent open-source project, not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Shortkeys or its authors. Uses XQueryKeymap and XTest on X11; Wayland-native sessions restrict external text expansion watchers.

FEATURES

  • Prefix Triggers and Groups: organize snippets across General, Developer, Email, and Date/Time categories in SQLite and JSON with configurable prefix delimiters, suffix triggers, smart-case matching, and a live interactive sandbox editor.
  • Dynamic Tokens and App Exclusions: render live date, time, clipboard, hostname, username, and cursor backtrack tokens, and exclude specific running X11 window classes.
  • Background Engine and Statistics: toggle the global X11 listener, tune expansion delay from 0 to 20 ms, inspect the rolling match buffer, and track expansion statistics in English or Vietnamese.
