Expanding Snippets

Prefix

The default prefix to expand a snippet is colon (:). You can change it in the app settings (Snippet Expander tab, Triggers section).

To use the snippet, type the prefix and the keyword you set for the snippet (e.g. :eml). The snippet should expand automatically 🎊.

Keep in mind that any clicks, shortcuts, or other interactions will cancel the expansion. However, Snippety allows using the Backspace key to correct the keyword if you made a mistake.

Alternatively, you can open Snippety, select the snippet you want to expand, and hit the Return key, or just double-click on the snippet.
