Obsidian Text Snippets Plugin

This is a plugin for Obsidian (https://obsidian.md).

It allows you to replace text templates for faster typing, create your own snippets almost like in many text editors and IDE.

You can use the shortcut (default CTRL/CMD + Tab) or the command Run snippet replacement by command palette (CTRL/CMD + P). There is also an option to use Tab as the shortcut instead. The cursor need to be on the word you want to replace. You can replace text with spaces by selecting all the text.

Demo

Features

Use $end$ to place the cursor after replacement in specific position
Use $nl$ to add line break in multiline snippet
$nl$ ignores next line break in Snippets settings, if the snippet ends with $end$ , add additional newline
Use $tb$ to add a tabstop for the cursor to jump to (don`t use together with $end$ )
Trigger the snippet shortcut without any eligible expansion to jump to the next tabstop
When enabling Tab as the shortcut, only if there are no eligilbe expansions nor jumps the, a normal Tab will be inserted
