Prefix and suffix delimited text expander for Linux X11

ScreenshotScreenshotScreenshot

A lightweight Linux X11 alternative to Shortkeys for prefix and suffix
delimited text expansion. Independent open-source project, not affiliated
with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Shortkeys or its authors. Uses
XQueryKeymap and XTest on X11; Wayland-native sessions restrict external
text expansion watchers.

FEATURES
- Prefix Triggers and Groups: organize snippets across General, Developer,
Email, and Date/Time categories in SQLite and JSON with configurable
prefix delimiters, suffix triggers, smart-case matching, and a live
interactive sandbox editor.
- Dynamic Tokens and App Exclusions: render live date, time, clipboard,
hostname, username, and cursor backtrack tokens, and exclude specific
running X11 window classes.
- Background Engine and Statistics: toggle the global X11 listener, tune
expansion delay from 0 to 20 ms, inspect the rolling match buffer, and
track expansion statistics in English or Vietnamese.
