Keyboard Shortcuts and Trigger System

SlashSnip really has two public shortcut modes:

Mode	Trigger	Best use
Direct insert	//shortcut	Fast repeated snippets you already remember
Inline menu	///	Browsing and discovery before the shortcut becomes muscle memory

When should you use alias triggers?

If a site makes slash typing awkward, SlashSnip can expose aliases:

• @@shortcut
• @@@

These are fallback trigger forms, not a separate snippet system. Your library stays unified.

Practical setup advice

For new users:

• start with /// to discover snippets;
• move to //shortcut after the useful ones repeat;
• enable alias triggers only if a site-specific workflow actually needs them.

The goal is not to memorize everything on day one. The goal is to reduce repeat typing safely.

What should you read next?

• Configure exceptions with site-specific trigger settings.
• Add dynamic content with date, time, clipboard, and cursor variables.
