Installing from source:

  1. Download the files from github

  2. Run the following command in the terminal

  2. After installing the package find the python install folder with the following command

      python3 -c "import imp, os; os.chdir(imp.find_module('sniplet')[1]); os.chdir('../'); os.chdir('../'); print(os.getcwd() + '\\Scripts\\')"
    
  3. Copy this path and add to the following command

      setx PATH "%PATH%;[PathCopied]"
    

Configuration:

  1. Run the following command to configure the text replacements

     sniplet --config
    
  2. Alternatively, you can create your own file with the following specification and save it as a txt file. An example is provided inside config-files

     Short:
     [Shortcut name]
     Repl:
     [Replacement lines]
     ...
    

Usage:

  1. To start Sniplet just invoke sniplet and mention the config file you want to use (created using --config)
