RegEx Shortcuts

Be able to use regular expressions to define shortcuts. Also provide the ability to define capture groups and pass the capture groups to the snippet as form values.

For example:

  • /(.+)/ would match /a/, /xyz/ and /foo/

Potentially named capture groups could be supported or a form variable like captures could be injected as a list into the snippet.

Hey,

This would be a significant upgrade in my opinion. I'm surprised it hasn't received more upvotes.

Keyboard Maestro can do this, but the macro interface is a little work to set up, but I used it to create patterns for verb tenses and plural forms. It really cuts down on snippet repetition since I use text expansion apps for smaller snippets regularly.

By the way, I really like how fast Text Blaze is.
