I love RegExRX for testing regular expressions. It has all the features I could want from such an app, including the ability to copy a working regex out prepared for a range of languages. It’s what I’ve stuck with for years.

Thanks to BetterTouchTool for sponsoring BrettTerpstra.com this week! I am a huge fan of BetterTouchTool and use it all day every day on my Mac. I wouldn’t know what to do without it. From customizing my keyboard shortcuts to adding infinite gestures to my trackpad to running my entire Stream Deck setup, there’s nothing this little utility can’t do.

Thanks to TextExpander for sponsoring BrettTerpstra.com this week! I recently had a great time doing a panel about my use of TextExpander for the TextExpander Virtual Summit, and got to talk about how I’ve been using TextExpander since the very beginning, tips I’ve learned, and which of my snippets are my favorites. I’ll share some more of those here soon.

My cat died a couple weeks ago. I had him for 20 years and he’s left a large hole in my life. I know not everybody gets cats the way cat people do, but he was honestly one of my closest friends. I just wanted to write a bit about him now that the grief is a bit less raw and just remember him for the legend he was.

I released a new version of Snibbets this morning that solves one peculiarity: if you have multiple snippets in one file but any of them don’t contain code blocks, then the titles and display would get weird.
