How does this integrate on Linux? I took a minute and couldn't find that information on the website.

Espanso currently supports X11-based linux systems through the X Record Extension [1] and libxdo [2]

That said, I'm currently working on another engine based on evdev that could be able to support also Wayland systems.

For the linux install see also: https://espanso.org/install/linux/

Awesome, would love to give it a try as a Wayland user.

Thanks! your best bet is to activate notification on the issue I linked before :) I'm currently working on it, the detection part is almost done, I'll need to figure out the best way to inject the text after detecting a match
