Issues using Hammerspoon and TextExpander #1188

Closed pdoak closed 6 years ago

pdoak commented 7 years ago

I have just started using Hammerspoon and have noticed that when Hammerspoon is running, it disables TextExpander snippets. However, if I bring TextExpander to the front and then switch back to whatever application that I was using and invoke the snippet again, it works.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem and if so, is there a way to get Hammerspoon and TextExpander working in harmony?

Many thanks

Paul

@pdoak - Curious, and slightly off-topic, but does your Hammerspoon config make use of hotkeys? If so, have you noticed any performance issues (i.e. keyboard lagging) with running Hammerspoon & TextExpander on the machine?

It's interesting that you say that. In one application, I have noticed some lag but thought it was due to that one application. I haven't noticed it generally, though.

pdoak commented 7 years ago

I have noticed that the issue arises when a snippet trigger comes directly after a return key press. In this situation, the expansion does not fire. If I press the up and down arrow key( to get the cursor in the same position) the expansion works.

What are you doing in your Hammerspoon config? We shouldn't be blocking TextExpander
