Interesting Features:
TEXT EXPANSION
🌐 Backspace to undo:
In case you don't want to convert words in a long phrase, by pressing backspace for once, you will get your typed word back without auto-complete.
🌐 Smart case:
If while typing, your short word starts with lowercase, your long phrase conversion will also start with lowercase, and if your short word starts with uppercase, Your long phrase will also start with uppercase if you enabled smart case.
If you disabled Smart case, then whether your typed word is lower or uppercase, your long phrase will be there as you mentioned in the Writing star phrase box.
🌐 Append space:
If enabled, it will add space to the end of the inserted phrase.
🌐 Expand with space/punctual:
You can also trigger text expansion with space and punctuation characters. It means, if you add a mixture of space and punctuations, you get your phrase there as text too.
