Your little expandable text snippet helper
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
+Return
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.
Supports placeholders:-
- Date/Time: Insert the current or calculated date/time with configurable format.
- Clipboard: Insert the text contents of the clipboard.
- Snippets: Insert snippets in your snippets!
- Cursor: Set where the cursor should end up after the snippet has expanded.
All placeholders are delimited (wrapped) by "$$", with the placeholder name starting with an "@" symbol.
For example, today's date can be inserted with "$$@date$$".
