There’s an update to Marked 2 almost ready for release which has an in-app purchase option for full spelling and grammar checking. It also includes completely rewritten memory management and background processing which improves speed and stability (that part will be free to all users). Look for that soon! In the meantime…

The latest update to LaunchBar has a cool new feature that helps it catch up in the area that Alfred jumped ahead in: the Action Editor.

One of the things I’ve been doing recently is assigning keyboard shortcuts to snippets instead of tab expansions, allowing me to apply them to selected text with the placeholder. That, combined with some text mutation offers some serious timesaving options. To illustrate, I thought I’d share a couple of very handy logging snippets.
