Lintalist

I use Lintalist as a quick access note database more then anything else and it works amazingly well for it.

This is an absolutely amazing text replacement tool. It is free, and highly customizable. Perhaps, there is a slight learning curve but once you get it, it is very easy to setup snippets. Thank you for providing this amazing tool for free.

Portable which is my preference.
Written in AutoHotKey
Requires a lot of time to setup. Config list is huge. Takes some time to understand it.
Cannot drag to resize, the default window is quite large ( resize in Config).

Whenever changes are made to config, Lintalist must restart, but requires 6 clicks to restart.
Personally I found it annoying, so I have given up for now, and will come back in several months.

Documenation is excellent, just a lot of it (not complaining)
Allow a full day to get started, it certainly is not plug and play for beginners.
Aimed at busy users of text insertion.

Really love this powerful app that is built on Autohotkey. Beats several text expander programs. Especially because it supports Formatted text, HTML, images and various other plugins. Thanks for making it free.
