Create snippets
In addition to supporting basic text, PromptSnippets also supports a more powerful type of snippet called Variable Snippets. You can extract the changing parts of a snippet into a variable, and then you only need to fill in this variable.
Variable Snippets
Use {{xxx}}
to define a variable, where xxx
is the name of the variable. For example, {{count}}
defines a variable snippet named count
.
You can fill the variables when use this snippet.
Variables also support default value using the {{name:default}}
. For example, {{count:1}}
defines a variable snippet named count
, and the default value is 1
.
💡 Tips: The wrapper symbol of a variable, which are set by default as {{ }}
, can be customized in the settings.
Input Mode
There are two ways to fill in variables: Tab
/ Popup
. You can choose the input mode in the settings.
Tab
When you use a snippet, you can press Tab
to fill in the variable. Double Tab
will select the next variable and fill in the default value.
Popup
When you use a snippet, an input popup box will appear, containing all the variables initialized with their default value. You can fill in the variable in the popup box.
