TextExpander has published TextExpander 8.4.5, an update to the text expansion utility that improves Inline Search. Now, when you press Enter on a recent item in the Inline Search, it expands it instead of opening the main window. The update also ensures that Inline Search remembers its window size and that Shift-Tab behaves correctly. Additionally, the release warns you when switching a snippet from rich text to plain text with an Undo link before formatting is dropped, restores the Return key for expanding a snippet from a fill-in pop-up menu, resolves a crash that could occur when opening a link from within the app, fixes snippets expanding twice in the Firefox Save As dialog, and addresses Quick Search shortcut keys not working when navigating to Recents. ($40 annual subscription with a 20% first-year discount for TidBITS members, release notes, 38.3 MB, macOS 11.1+)

I’ve asked TextExpander to allow users to change the default from RTF to plain text. I write almost exclusively in Markdown format (plaintext) so whenever I use “new” in TextExpander I have to change it to plain text. Would be great if their update fixed this issue. (As it stands I create new snips by duplicating and editing prior ones).
