Beschreibung
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Add snippet support to PowerToys Run analogous to the Snippets and Text Expansion feature of Alfred for macOS, e.g.
sn <label>
Would insert user-defined text identified by at the cursor's position.
Scenario when this would be used?
This would be used to insert repetitive text anywhere a user does so, for instance:
- Entering an email address in a login form could be reduced from typing the entire email to
<PowerToys Run Shortcut> sn e <enter> - Inserting a template for a task
- Inserting a template for a tweet
- etc
The possibilities are limitless 🚀
Supporting information
I think the best supporting information is provided by AlfredApp's help page on the feature.
crutkas: this should be larger and include concepts like search engine launch. I think we should have some easy pre-defined things like "{browser} https://stackoverflow.com/search?q={0}" so so foo would just properly launch
