- The snippets list now supports copy & paste. In addition to the obvious purpose of duplicating snippets (which was already possible by doing an [option]-drag, by the way), you can also create new snippets by pasting text to the snippets list.

- If you have configured Textpander to "Expand automatically when... a delimiter character has been typed after an abbreviation", you can now choose whether the delimiter character that triggered the expansion should vanish on expansion ("keep delimiter"/"abandon delimiter"). To override this setting for a specific snippet, add a "Keep delimiter" specifier ("%+", without the surrounding quotation marks) or an "Abandon delimiter" specifier ("%-") to the very end of your snippet.
- You can now use your own local snippets collection and subscribe to a remote snippets file at the same time.
- Improved Textpander's compatibility with the Terminal and other applications that don't behave like standard OS X text editors.
- Available Languages: English, German.
-
Textpander 1.0 (08-22-2005)
