Renaming this plugin - any suggestions?

[jon-heard]

This plugin's name is Text Expander JS. There is another plugin named Text Expander. The other plugin has a similar purpose though it is missing features that I require, prompting this plugin's creation. The names of these two plugins are similar. Too similar? I think so.

I've helped a user through technical difficulties caused by downloading the wrong plugin. Another user mentioned this plugin on their blog and referred to it as TextExpander. Both mistakes are very reasonable in this circumstance.

I'd like to change the name of this plugin, and soon, but I can't think of a great name. Any suggestions? I wrote the plugin to help with TTRpgs, but it isn't specific to that purpose, so I'm reluctant to go all in on naming it for that. However, I'll do it for the right name.

Many years ago, I wrote an automation engine at my job to help with QA. A friend named it "Trained Monkey". This plugin isn't that, but it's not too far off.

Try “expand” in different languages. Kakudai is Japanese (written in romaji). Expandir in Portuguese.

I'll keep this option in mind, thanks.

This plugin is much more than a text expander, as its main feature is you can run small scripts or commands inline in your note as you type. What about something related to this? "Inline Commands"? I'm not good coming up with names.

[jon-heard]

Good point. It's more of an in-doc script-runner, isn't it? A promising avenue to explore, thanks.

I don't have a good name for you to use, but I really support @da-martin's observations that this is more than an expander. I also like @RPGDigitalist's suggestion to use a translator to convert to a different language for a unique, doubt this name is taken, name.

[jon-heard]

Ok. I'm thinking about calling it "Inline scripts".

I've been considering "Inline scripter", but I expect that a decent chunk of users won't be doing their own scripting, just using existing libraries.
I also considered "Inline JS scripts" or "Inline scripts JS", but it's just harder to remember.

I know, it's almost right back to your initial suggestion, @da-martin.

Anyway, What do you think?

[jon-heard]

... or, perhaps "Inlined scripts" is better.

[da-martin]

I prefer "Inline scripts" as "Inlined" sounds weird to me, but english is not my first language so it might just be me.

I'm just about ready to refactor the plugin name. I'm using "Inline Scripts" (not Inlined, as that sounded weird to me as well, even though it's technically better English). I've just put out one more release: 0.20.2. The next release, 0.21.0 will have the new plugin name (among many other updates).
