Snippets: Create and Use Smart Shortcuts

Follow

What is a Snippet?

A Snippet is a short trigger word that, when typed, instantly expands into your predefined content. It works anywhere Slashit is running—just type the short word, and the content appears. No slashes or extra steps needed.

How to Create a Snippet

  1. Open the Snippets section from your Slashit sidebar.

  2. Click ➕ Add Snippet.

  3. Fill out the form:

    • Snippet Trigger Word: This is the short word (e.g., Slas) you’ll type to insert your content.
    • Snippet Content: The actual text that will be inserted.
    • Reset Fills: Clears current input fields if you want to start over.
    • Save Snippet: Adds your snippet to the active list.

Once saved, it works instantly anywhere Slashit is enabled.

Practical Use Cases

Here are a few ways to use Snippets effectively:
