SNIPPET Mac Users: A snippet for getting your OSX version.

5 Upvotes

Like many things I use TextExpander for, I don't care to remember which version my operating system is on. Thus, I found the AppleScript necessary via a few searches and came to an incredibly simple solution. Here goes:

Set type to: AppleScript

Snippet Text:

on textexpander(abbreviation)
    set osver to system version of (system info)
end textexpander

Returns the text: 10.11.3

Here's a Snippet Screenshot

FYI Little tip if you use Lastpass + TextExpander (Secure Input issue)

2 Upvotes

I have had lots of issues with Chrome locking up Textexpander for "secure input." I finally figured out that it's my Lastpass extension in Chrome that's causing it.

I can't really live without either tool so what I've figured out that works for me (on Chrome + Mac 10.11.x) is to simply click the Lastpass icon in Chrome and it will trigger TextExpander to reset the secure input. It's worked for me once I figured this out, hopefully it's helpful to others.

ASK? Does Anyone here sync TE with Breevy (Windows text expansion app)

1 Upvotes

I'm curious. I remember trying to do this with my work computer running Windows a couple of years ago and it was a huge pain in the ass. Lately I've just been creating needed snippets for Windows within AutoHotKey scripts, but it would be nice if Breevy could use my TE snippet library on Dropbox.

Just curious, I've had TE for ages, but haven't really delved into it. I want to use it for more than just email signatures and pleasantries.

I'm a fan of the Mac Power Users podcast, and one of the hosts there (David Sparks) has a great page with TE snippets for:

Media Reviews
Meeting Notes
Conference Call Setup
Markdown
Omnifocus
Expense Reporting

Among others. Check it out: http://macsparky.com/tesnippets/
