Save your often used text snippets and then expand them whenever you type their abbreviation.
For example:- "spr`" expands to "Snippet Pixie rules!"
For non-accessible applications such as browsers and Electron apps, there's a shortcut (default is Ctrl+`) for opening a search window that pastes the selected snippet.
The Search and Paste window, opened with Ctrl+` (can be changed), is very convenient for quickly finding and pasting snippets, and shows the most recently used snippets first for quick access. Using Shift

or Shift
+Click
on an entry in the Search and Paste window will Shift
+Ctrl
+V
paste, great for terminal emulators, vim etc.
Snippets can be imported and exported in a simple JSON format.

All placeholders are delimited (wrapped) by "$$", with the placeholder name starting with an "@" symbol. For example, today's date can be inserted with "$$@date$$".

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap
and /snap
:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install snippetpixie, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install snippetpixie --classic
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
