#### Hierarchical phrase folder tree with macro forms and X11 text expansion

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

FEATURES

* Hierarchical Phrase Tree: organize folders and phrase templates with
  abbreviations, smart-case matching, and word-boundary triggers.
* Dynamic Macro Forms & Caret Control: resolve {{date}}, {{time}},
  {{clipboard}}, {{choice:A|B|C}}, custom form inputs, and {{cursor}} placement.
* Live Autocomplete Popup & Backup: display matching phrase suggestions near
  the active caret/widget, paste into focused X11 windows, export JSON/CSV
  libraries, and switch between English and Vietnamese interfaces.
