Text Expansion
Set up text expansion for repeated phrases
Use this Rule for a phrase you enter repeatedly, such as a reply, short address, or signature. A distinctive typed trigger starts an Insert Text Action so you can maintain the reusable content in one place rather than copying it from a reference note.
When: The exact phrase ;addr is typed. Do: Insert the configured text into the frontmost application. There is no If Condition. The sample replacement content is Text Expansion; replace that demonstration value with your own phrase before using the Rule in real documents.
Configure and try it
- Import through Open this Rule in Rulr and review the Text Typed phrase and case-matching setting. Choose a trigger unlikely to appear in ordinary writing.
- Edit Insert Text with your intended content. Begin with a short sentence so the result is easy to inspect.
- Grant Accessibility access for the typed Trigger and text insertion. Enable the Rule and place the cursor in a temporary document in your usual writing app.
- Type the trigger and check the full resulting text, including whether the trigger phrase remains and where the content is inserted. Repeat in other apps you intend to use.
Requirements and limits
Text Typed requires Rulr Pro. The receiving app must support the simulated insertion behavior, and secure fields or app-specific input handling can behave differently.
The supplied flow contains a Trigger and insertion Action, without an explicit step to select or delete the typed abbreviation. Verify the result rather than assuming every app will replace it as a conventional snippet tool would.
Is this a text replacement or snippet manager?
This is one editable text expansion Rule, with one typed trigger and one configured insertion. It does not provide a searchable snippet library, synchronize snippets across devices, or guarantee that the trigger is removed. Use it when the event-to-insertion flow fits your app. For entering a new note each time instead of inserting a fixed phrase, use Quick Note.
