[Plugin request] Alfred-like snippets #1614

Closed novmikvis closed 10 months ago

novmikvis commented 6 years ago

Add plugin that allows define text keywords and assign text blocks to them: (no need for fancy UI, plain text multi-line input is good enough)

From Alfred team:

Do you frequently have to type your address, a block of text or website address? Typing them manually takes time, requires looking the same information up every time and leaves you with the possibility of making a typo error. Saving your text clip as an Alfred snippet ensures that the next time you need it, it'll save you time and be as perfect as the first time you typed it

Same idea as Cerebro plugin

Great idea, totally concur! 👍

This is the exact reason I started using Alfred. Is there any news on this? I don't see it implemented in v1.3 yet...

I’m using Beeftext where you can define keywords that get replaced. You can also set up a modal window, similar to wox. Maybe you two should collaborate ¯\(ツ)/¯
