Trigger abbreviations with user input in a loop
Sometimes it is handy to repeat an abbreviation with form inputs until you are finished with your task. To trigger this without always typing the abbreviation again, you can use a small loop.
Here is an inventory example. Lets first create the form we need to fill out again and again in an abbreviation called 'inv.item'.
{{?Item Nr}}
{{?Item Name}}
{{?Amount}}
To not type this abbreviation repetitive until you are finished, we can create a loop.
Typinator has a handy feature to trigger other abbreviations in an abbreviation like this '{"inv.item"}', but it is not possible to trigger the same abbreviation. To do this, you need to use a small script.
{/AppleScript expand string "inv.item"}
