A Python tool that analyzes a corpus of your own writing to find common n-grams and suggest text-expansion abbreviations ranked by characters saved. It generates config files for Autokey, a Linux keyboard shortcut program, and can parse Slack data exports as a corpus.

Use cases

  • generate typing shortcuts from my own writing
  • create text expansion abbreviations for email and slack
  • find which phrases I should abbreviate to type faster
  • turn my slack message history into a text expansion corpus
  • auto-generate autokey config files for abbreviations

When to choose

  • you type a lot of repetitive text in email or Slack on Linux
  • you want data-driven suggestions for which abbreviations save the most keystrokes
  • you already use or want to use Autokey for text expansion

When to avoid

  • you need text expansion on macOS or Windows (Autokey is Linux-only)
  • you want a polished GUI tool rather than a script with manual post-processing
  • you need a maintained project with a license or active development
