Replace Text (text replacement) refers to the task of replacing an entered string with another predefined string. It ranges from the find-and-replace feature for specific patterns in editors and command-line tools to text expanders, which automatically expand a short abbreviation into a long phrase or formatted text as you type. With a tool that works system-wide across the operating system, such as Espanso, the same replacement rules can be applied in any program.
