What other special codes can be used in TextExpander snippets?
Other special codes which can be used in TextExpander: (other than the date and time macros listed here)
%clipboard = insert clipboard text contents here (note: you can get the effect of "Paste and Match Style" by creating a "Plain Text" snippet with just "%clipboard" as its contents, with something like "ppp" as the abbreviation)
%| = position cursor here once snippet is expanded
%\ = select from %| to here (must appear after %|)
%% = expand a single percent character ("escape" the percent sign from being treated as a macro code)
%snippet:<snippet abbreviation>% = embed the specified snippet's expansion within this one
Fill-in fields (see TextExpander help for details):
%filltext:name=<field name>% = single-line fill-in field
%fillarea:name=<area name>% = multi-line fill-in field
%fillpopup:[default=]<value>:<value>:<value>[…]% = popup menu
%fillpart%<content of optional section>%fillpartend% = optional section - check the box to include when expanded
Have TextExpander press some arrow keys after the expansion is inserted (must appear at the end of the snippet text):
%> = cursor right
%< = cursor left
%^ = cursor up
%v = (letter v) cursor down
If you use a delimiter to trigger expansion, override the keep or abandon delimiter for a specific snippet by adding one of these codes at the end of the snippet text:
%+ = keep delimiter
%- = abandon delimiter
