TextExpander update adds new expansion option

SmileOnMyMac released an update for its typing shortcut tool, TextExpander, adding new options for expanding text.

With TextExpander 2.6 abbreviations can now be set to expand when preceded by any character.

With this option expansion can be triggered after adding punctuation like parentheses and slashes.

The new version also allows users to specify the Clipboard restore delay and the words-per-minute (wpm) rate that is used to calculate how much time is saved by using TextExpander.

TextExpander 2.6 is available from the company's Web site and costs $29.95, around 20.
