Glossary

The Instant Text glossary ecosystem has several types of glossaries, active in parallel, while you type:

• The Singles Glossary is used to expand one‑letter abbreviations.
• The Current Glossary, always a Words n' Phrases Glossary, is used to expand abbreviations with two or more letters.
• The Shield Glossary helps you avoid unwanted expansions when you use Phrase Expander Keys.
• The Hotkey Glossary is used to expand hotkeys.
• The Typo Glossary is used to correct your typos.

The Pick, Snippet and Variable glossaries are repositories for pick lists, snippets and variables that can be referenced inside expansions.
