Text Expander?

[jayjerome]

Is there a text expanding feature in Scrivener for Windows, or an app available to set up abbreviations to type out long names (like the Text replacement feature on my iPad?).

I have characters with long names in both script and novel In progress and it would be a big help if I didn’t have to redundantly type them over and over.

Jay -

You might want to look at Hot Keyboard Pro. https://www.hot-keyboard.com/

It's $30 but IMO well worth it - does a lot more, too.

What you looking for can be achieved by adding substitutions. Go to Options > Corrections > Edit Substitutions...
There you can add your abbreviations to the list and they will be expanded to the full text.

Thanks for the suggestion.
