@Zenie @jbaty Giving up #TextExpander was the final, biggest obstacle to transitioning to Linux from MacOS eight or ten years ago. #AutoKey did the job under X, mostly, and #Espanso works sometimes under Wayland but only after a sojourn in config hell. But neither has ever been reliable. It must be a difficult problem space because it just doesn't ever work.
The vast majority of my snippets are for composing email, so I moved them to #yasnippet after I loved to #mu4e. And #Emacs has never let me down.
But that leaves tons of stuff in the browser where one is left just to muddle through.

I've summarized my settings and customization of my desktop using #GNOME48 (from #Debian13 #Trixie) on https://karl-voit.at/Gnome-Setup/
Including:
- my choice of #GNOME Extensions
- custom scripts in "Files" (#Nautilus) incl. keyboard shortcuts
- most settings can be easily set by gseetings in your shell without requiring Settings or Tweaks UI
- list of current bugs relevant to me -

can someone tell me, how to get #AutoKey (installed appstream://autokey-gtk.desktop) from Discover working in all windows in #Neon #KDE?
It works in Google Chrome, but not in #Thunderbird (which would be 95% of my usage) or Kate.
