    • The snippets list now supports copy & paste. In addition to the obvious purpose of duplicating snippets (which was already possible by doing an [option]-drag, by the way), you can also create new snippets by pasting text to the snippets list. Moreover, copying from the snippets list populates your clipboard with a list of the selected snippets and their respective abbreviations. Paste that into a text file and apply your formatting to create a snippets cheat sheet.

    • Fixed a bug in Textpander's external snippets parser. This will solve most problems experienced by users who have imported or subscribed to their TypeIt4Me snippets. (You don't have to re-import those. Textpander fixes corrupted snippets automatically.)
    • You can now add a clipboard placeholder (%clipboard) to have Textpander insert the current clipboard content into a snippet on expansion. (Only the clipboard's plain text representation is used here.)
    • Textpander can now import or subscribe to "nlang" files from Nisus Writer.
    • Textpander Help should now work on Mac OS X 10.3.9.
    • Added a French localization by Hervé Roth.
    • Available Languages: English, French, German.
  • Textpander 1.1 (08-29-2005)

    • If you have configured Textpander to "Expand automatically when... a delimiter character has been typed after an abbreviation", you can now choose whether the delimiter character that triggered the expansion should vanish on expansion ("keep delimiter"/"abandon delimiter"). To override this setting for a specific snippet, add a "Keep delimiter" specifier ("%+", without the surrounding quotation marks) or an "Abandon delimiter" specifier ("%-") to the very end of your snippet.
    • You can now use your own local snippets collection and subscribe to a remote snippets file at the same time.
    • Improved Textpander's compatibility with the Terminal and other applications that don't behave like standard OS X text editors.
    • Available Languages: English, German.
  • Textpander 1.0 (08-22-2005)
