Recommend less known macro apps and text expanders
AndyM:
Been using AutoHotkey and MacroExpress. One or the other is better or easier for this or that. I have a few ME macros that call an AH script. I've been pleased.

Just in case someone don't know activAid - A GUI for AutoHotkey
ac’tivAid provides a collection of autohotkey scripts that enhances Windows with useful functions,
some of which you may recognize from other operating systems. The tool itself works like a platform
with a graphical user interface (GUI), to which you can add a custom selection of scripts.

app103:
Asutype was the first and only text expander I have ever used. It's primary usage is as a spelling corrector, but it has text expander capabilities. It fails in usage with GTK applications, so I can't use it with Xchat, and since I can't use it for spelling correction in that, I really don't have a use for it any more. Almost every other app I use has a spell checker built in, and I only really get fouled up when using a chat client.

One of the best text expanders I have found is Yadabyte Subtext, nice easy interface for entering text expansions, quick and easy to learn / use and best of all totally free. Should also add totally portable as well. There are a few other portable apps which may be useful on this site, Subtext is the 5th one from the top.
kalos:
is there a text autoreplacer/correcter/expander that works with regex?
but I have to limit its usage to specific windows or even controls
thanks
