Hi!
Snippets in text mode is basically just shortcuts for some text that you use often and can't be bothered to type all the time. (That's how I look at them!
)
Here is one thread that uses snippets in text mode:
Combining User Variables, Snippets and Input
Another example where I use them in text mode:
In my test environment I have to enter a pretty long username when logging in to some of the management tools, like, username@subdomain.maindomain.tld
I have that on speed dial with a hotstring trigger, #+W, I enter that hotstring in the username field, and QAP fills out the full name.
Other users lurking around here probably have lots of use cases with snippets.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
joeNOR
