Text expansion with customizable triggers and templates SlashSnip — Type Less, Write More Stop typing the same text over and over. SlashSnip lets you create custom text shortcuts that instantly expand into full messages, emails, code snippets, or any text you use frequently. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a template with a short trigger (like /sig or ::email) 2. Add your full text content with optional dynamic placeholders 3. Type your trigger in any text field and press Space (or use Immediate mode) 4. Your trigger instantly expands into the full text KEY FEATURES Custom Triggers Use any prefix you like: /hello, ::address, //todo, or whatever feels natural to you. Dynamic Placeholders Insert live data into your templates: • <clipboard> — Paste clipboard content automatically • <selection> — Include currently selected text • <date:YYYY-MM-DD> — Insert today's date in any format • <time:HH:mm> — Insert current time • <datetime:FORMAT> — Insert date and time together • <input:Name> — Prompt for custom input when expanding • <select:Option:A,B,C> — Choose from a dropdown list • <cursor> — Position your cursor exactly where you want it Tab Stops Create templates with multiple fill-in fields. Press Tab to jump between them for quick data entry. Text Transforms Apply automatic formatting with :upper, :lower, :title, or :trim transforms.
