I used Espanso a while back on my Win 10 machine. It was nice, but I got noticeable lag compared to the smooth replacing of AutoHotKey (AHK also uses less resources).

I might switch to Espanso in the future though, given that AHK is not available on Linux.

I'm sorry you experienced this problem! How many snippets were you using? AHK is indeed a wonderful tool, and because it only supports Windows, it can apply some optimizations that are not available on other platforms. I'm currently rewriting the core, so things might get a bit faster in the future :)

I don't use many snippets, probably less than a hundred.

Just tried it again. Not as slow as I remember, the syntax is also cleaner than AHK. Switching to it now :)

Thanks! If you have any feedback or experience any problem, feel free to open an issue on GitHub :)
