Can anyone recommend a good TextExpander to Espanso snippet converter?

I’ve been using this for about 6 months. Love it.

I’m using it on KDE for quite some time now. It’s very useful, but sometimes types too fast and eats keystrokes. Other than that it’s flawless. Can recommend to anyone.

I found Espanso very useful, but some bugs made me move on to Raycast, BetterTouchTool, etc. for similar functionality. For example, if Espanso config file is on a cloud drive, it doesn't automatically sync or read the file upon reboot.

I'm planning to move back to Espanso though, as Raycast is moving in the wrong direction with all the AI non-features.

Have been using it for some years now. On Linux at least, it's easy to install and maintain.

The size of my snippets list is now a testament of its usefulness. On the appropriate context (an online meeting, for instance), it feels like a superpower.

Anyone know how to change the default :date output to YYYY-MM-DD instead of MM/DD/YYYY on macOS?

I’ve tried the following in default.yml and reloading the config, but it’s not working and Claude, Gemini, and myself are stumped :)

  matches:  
    - trigger: ":date"  
      replace: "{{mydate}}"  
      vars:  
        - name: mydate  
          type: date  
          params:  
            format: "%Y-%m-%d"

  /Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/espanso/match/base.yml

  # Print the current date
  - trigger: ":date"
    replace: "{{mydate}}"
    vars:
      - name: mydate
        type: date
        params:
          format: "%Y-%m-%d"

    - trigger: ";tod"
      replace: "{{mydate}}"
      vars:
      - name: mydate
        type: shell
        params:
          cmd: date --iso-8601

I found it really buggy when I used it to the point in was unusable
