espanso-x11

Cross-platform Text Expander written in Rust

Espanso is a text expander. A text expander is a program that detects when you type a specific keyword and replaces it with something else.

To make espanso work, you need to allow espanso to read inputs. This is a privileged operation, the capability cap_dac_override+p is required. This can be achieved with sudo setcap "cap_dac_override+p" $(which espanso). On a Guix system, you can define the following in your operating-system definition:

(operating-system
  ...
  (privileged-programs
    (append (list (privileged-program
                  (program (file-append espanso "/bin/espanso"))
                  (capabilities "cap_dac_override+p")))
          %default-privileged-programs)))
