Great tool, thank you BigChungus.

Now I can use !tod, !tom and !week in “capture into my inbox” feature.
I changed format: "%Y-%m-%d", because I like my dates without time.

I use this to only see the tasks that do not have “dependencies”.

I just started playing with Text Blaze. It has great promise but the real powerful stuff requires a $36 annual subscription. I would pay that one time, but not every year. For heavy users in the working world, it might be worth it.

Your first example would be {time: MM-DD-YY; shift=+2D} That “snippet” would be assigned a keyboard shortcut which you use to insert the date into Dynalist.

Espanso looks good but I do a lot of work on my Chromebook. Text Blaze works as a chrome browser extension, so it is cross-platform, except sadly not mobile ios. If anybody knows of a text expander with mobile capability, I am all ears.
