I saw something recently to say TextExpander will not work the same in Drafts as it does now. Maybe this is why there is an initiative to come up with a replacement. Here is how you can replace text (a couple of letters) with a whole bunch of text.

Set it up with a Workspace to store the snippets and some actions to use them. Expand text direct to the document or to the clipboard to paste in wherever you like. It works a treat but don't forget you can set up text replacement snippets in System Preferences. On the Mac you can do them with Keyboard Maestro also. Maybe even with Better Touch Tool
