I do agree the README was terrible. I've fixed it.

Dmenu like fuzzy search does make sense when you have alot of expansions. I'll add it as I find the need for it myself.

It is not meant to compete with feature rich programs.

Keydogger does one thing and it does it well. If you think it's misbehaving in any way, it's so small you can read and confirm that behaviour.

Looked up `abbrev-mode` and that is a correct analogy. Abbrev mode also handles emojis, pretty cool. But then it's Emacs so I shouldn't be surprised.

Offtopic, I wish my younger self followed RTFM when I used to use Emacs.

It works on Wayland as well AFAIK. I looked up espanso for expanding emojis and it seems they too use `wl-clipboard`

I do realise it now that it's missing it's usage. It's a simple keyboard macro which supports all printable characters for triggers and everything for expansions. It sends native key presses if all the expansion are printable characters. If not, it uses clipboard and sends `Ctrl+V`

You get it perfectly. Being auditable was one of the priority which is exactly why it's small.

Regarding the clipboard, it's a third party dependency. I looked into implementing Wayland clipboard myself but it is too deep Wayland. The only reason clipboard exists is because I cannot send non-printable characters using uinput.

So indexing all the components and finding out all the interactions between them. This is exactly what class browsers do, they index all the classes and messages. The interactions could be described using an example/documentation.

This reminds me of Pharo which does all of the above, indexes classes, messages and has a rich documentation support.

This is very well written. 1-3 describes my experience of tinkering in Pharo except I haven't actually built anything with it.

I love debugging and I would prefer this even if it's slower but there are cases where it's not easy to setup a debugger.

I would prefer LSP assists as mentioned above. I love having things within reach. I believe programming should be as painless as possible.

Pharo(Smalltalk) IDE is one of the best IDE I've ever used. It even has a feature where you give input object and output object and it tells you what messages you need to send to get from input to output.

This is exactly what I would do ideally except I couldn't. I can understand that working in startups you would overlook alot of theory and due to hectic nature low quality calls(code/architecture explanation) are not appreciated.

And that's why the first thing I ask during a technical interview is "Do you have internal documentation?".
