Use Cases

This placeholder is useful when you want to insert the current clipboard content into the snippet and add some additional text or formatting around it.

Example 1

You often review documents and send messages asking to correct specific parts.

You could create a snippet that inserts the current clipboard content and adds the following text:

Please correct the following part:

{@clipboard@}

This way you can quickly copy the part that needs to be corrected and create appropriate message.

Example 2

You need a snippet that creates a HTML image tag with an image from the clipboard. You could use the following snippet:

<img
  src="https://some-website.com/images/{@clipboard@}.png"
  alt="{@clipboard@}"
/>

Assuming that the clipboard contains the image name screenshot-1, the snippet will expand to:

<img
  src="https://some-website.com/images/screenshot-1.png"
  alt="screenshot-1"
/>
