This already exists as something called dot phrases, which most doctors are familiar with. These are typically shared and refined and highly useful. You can find plenty of resources online as well.

This is just a hacky way of doing the same thing, all on your own, and a tremendously silly way to do it. Which makes sense because this is literally just an ad.

Fluff and an ad for text expander

Things have changed since I last watched it. I much preferred the Daleks.

I wonder if it's possible to hook up a second, cheap, keyboard and map its keys to different things for extra shortcuts. For example remap F1-12 to F13-24 which I've seen MMO mice do (rip Logitech G600, best mouse I ever used).

Aside from the website being annoying, the story is horrific, a doctor speed running patient interactions with pre canned snippets. Disgusting.

Jcenters, whoever you are, kill this awful website. It reflows the width on scroll, the top bar occupies 1/5 of my phone, nobody wants whatever the fucking AI expanded blog slop you are selling.

This isn’t clever, it’s just annoying.
