Originally posted by killtux April 5, 2020 i would be nice to have an option for a sound notification the moment espanso is triggered. for example like "beeftext" for windows does. it should be simple and not too distracting.

And also @greggjoseph1 also created in another thread a similar idea:

I've just started a new match file which I'll populate over time with my common typos and misspellings to help me out in apps that don't have built in spellchecks. I normally have all espanso notifications disabled because I always know it's working when I invoke the trigger, but it would be cool to know that it's made a replacement of a word that I misspelled (matchs in that specific spellchecker.yml) that I may have done accidentally without realising. To implement this I envision a type of "show_notifications: true" that may optionally be set at the top of match files and only applies to matches made in that file's triggers.
