And i’ve been using Espanso (https://espanso.org) for remote form-heavy days — typing ‘;;addr’ drops in full address blocks, and pairing it with a 25/5 timer keeps me on task. Small caveat: a few secure portals block expansions, so I fire it in Notepad then paste or switch to Chrome’s built-in snippets. It’s like teaching my keyboard to do the boring bits.
