Useful commands, key combinations and links

Location of your files
espanso path
will return a list of paths to your Config, Packages and Data files.
For use within Obsidian, you can construct a link to quickly open your default.yml like so: Take the “Config” path from above command and make a file:// link in your note to default.yml:
I’m on Linux, so mine looks as follows:
- Local [default.yml](file:///home/matthias/.config/espanso/default.yml)
Note: You cannot use $HOME or ~ as an abbreviation for your home folder here!
Now, in Obsidian, I only have to click on the default.yml link and it will open in the associated program (a text editor, in my case).
Temporarily dIsabling espanso
For documentaion and other purposes, you might want to temporarily disable espanso: Hit Alt twice in rapid succession. You should get an on-screen notification.
**TODO: ** What is the key on a Mac? Opt?
This is a toggle, so doing it again will re-enable espanso.
Auto-reload when changing default.yml
Whenever you change and save default.yml (which contains your snippets), you should get a “Config reloaded” notification. Espanso tries to detect changes and reloads automatically.
If this should fail for some reason or other, type espanso restart in a console.
