Has anyone seen an app that will auto expand or add tooltips to abbreviations across apps? I'd love to be able to define domain specific abbreviations and acronyms once and be able to see the full text when I see them in an email, a Github page or a Slack message.
A way to do that would be with a font that has ligatures for abbreviations you want to see expanded, but that would only work if you can control what font applications use (in theory, replacing all fonts on your system by ones with ligatures would help, but that already wasn’t very feasible before Apple locked down the OS)
I also think they would want something more intelligent, as many, many abbreviations have multiple expansions. They wouldn’t want to see “in other words” if the writer meant the Chiwere language or “isle of Wight” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOW)
You should be able to create a service wherein you select text and it swaps out predefined acronyms and then replaces your text.
