   Typinator 5.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Ergonis has refined its popular typing expansion utility with the
   release of [1]Typinator 5.1, which now includes interactive input
   fields that can insert dynamic content into expanded text. This enables
   an abbreviation to open a dialog in which values can be entered into
   specified fields, ranging from text fragments that you type to scripts
   that create further dynamic expansions. Check out the Ergonis [2]Extras
   page to download a collection of input field samples, including
   interactive date calculations and currency conversions. Typinator 5.1
   also includes more than 25 additional enhancements, including improved
   tab navigation between abbreviation and expansion, improved speed of
   repeatedly used AppleScripts, a fix for a problem where Quick Search
   results weren't visible on multiple-monitor setups, and a workaround
   for an expansion and cursor positioning issue in Coda 2. The release
   also includes a signed developer ID for use with OS X 10.8 Mountain
   Lion's Gatekeeper security feature. ('¬24.99 new with a 25-percent
   discount for [3]TidBITS members, free update, 4.7 MB, [4]release notes)
