This was a great webinar. Thank you for hosting it. I learned a lot.

One thing that stood out was the question toward the end about using TextExpander to fill out multiple pages or fields in a form. I’d like to suggest a feature called “delay” that could enhance this functionality. The idea is to allow TextExpander to pause for a user-defined number of seconds before continuing to fill out the next part of a page. This delay could either follow a default setting or be customized per snippet.

I think this would help accommodate pages that load fields dynamically or require brief pauses between entries. Just a thought, and thank you again.

Thanks for the suggestion, @Christian, I’ve passed that to our product team.

Hi Christian - This is a great suggestion. We’ve heard this from other customers too. We will add a +1 to the functionality - add pause/delay/wait within snippets and between macros.

Great idea to have a default but having the option to customize it. :raising_hands:

Thank you for writing in! Keep the feature requests coming!

Thanks for the webinar. Nicely done. I could not attend due to the time difference so very much appreciate the recording. I have always been somewhat baffled why TextExpander has such good date and time maths but no access to a simple date picker. Or am I missing something? We run a B&B cottage and I send a lot of booking confirmation emails using TE. I have an in-date and an out-date, so clipboard is not useful. Every other snippet app I have tried has a date picker as a std component. How can I get the equivalent in TE without a myriad of keystrokes going to and from with my b&b web booking page? Many thanks!

Hey, @DouglasParke, we’re working on a built-in date picker! In the meantime, you might find this helpful:

Hi Josh, thank you for that very useful collection! I actually now know how to use them, having watched the webinar! :rofl: I will await the date picker release with unbridled enthusiasm, I have to say though.. Cheers
