Convert Textexpander's spaces in Alfred 3's spaces. #5

Closed politicus closed 8 years ago

politicus commented 8 years ago

Textexpander allows to add one or more spaces by adding "%|".

After the conversion, they do expand as "%|".

Would be great if they were converted in Alfred'3 spaces.

Thanks.

@politicus According to this support article, %| does place the cursor at that position after expansion, and does not create one or more spaces: https://textexpander.com/entry/what-other-special-codes-can-be-used-in-textexpander-touch-snippets/

This behaviour is (at the moment) not supported by Alfred 3. The best way to add a space is probably by just using a " " space character. There are several other special codes in TextExpander, that Alfred doesn't implement and that this project does therefore not convert. I advise to convert them manually.

Thank you!

It means I will have to convert a lot of snippets ;-)
