Snippets are a powerful way to save time by storing or expanding frequently used text with just a single keyword.
To create snippets, use the Create Snippet command in root search.
You can make your snippets dynamic by using placeholders. Just hit { to open the Dynamic placeholders menu and see all currently supported ones.
Here’s what’s available at this point:
| Name | Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UUID | {uuid} |
Inserts a universally unique value, such as “E621E1F8-C36C-495A-93FC-0C247A3E6E5F”. |
| Clipboard Text | {clipboard} |
Inserts your last copied text. The placeholder will be removed from the snippet when you use it if you have not copied any text recently. |
| Date | {date} |
Inserts only the current date like 1 Jun 2025. |
| Time | {time} |
Inserts only the current time like 3:05 pm. |
| Date & Time | {datetime} |
Inserts both date and time like 1 Jun 2025 at 6:45 pm. |
| Weekday | {day} |
Inserts the day of the week like Monday. |
The true power of snippets is comes from snippets expansion. After saving a keyword to your snippet, whenever you type this keyword we will automatically replace it with your snippet text. Your dynamic placeholder will also get injected into this text.
