Hi @rksg77 Welcome to the forum!

Can't remember your shortcuts? A few solutions

Once you have a lot of snippets, you might find yourself faced with the challenge of keeping track of what all the shortcuts actually are. There's a few ways that you can deal with this. All of these solutions can be used together, too! Built in Tools There's two ways that you can access your snippets without needing to remember their shortcuts.

Can you please clarify your question with an example?

@rksg77 The import option in the previous post is what I use and it works great! Here is an example:

{note}{formmenu: default=Choice A; Choice B; Choice C; name=Snippet}

{endnote}{if: Snippet == "Choice A"; trim=left}{import: /snippet#1}{endif}

{if: Snippet == "Choice B"; trim=left}{import: /snippet#2}{endif}

{if: Snippet == "Choice C"; trim=left}{import: /snippet#3}{endif}

This will allow you to only have to remember the shortcut to this snippet and it can pull up any snippets you have imported. This is the way I organize my snippets and it works great for me. Instead of having to remember the shortcut for each of the types of phone calls I have to make, I just created one snippet and import my phone call snippets into this snippet.

Thank you but now i am using dropdown menu for each category and my total snippets uses(how many times i have used) is more then 10,000 maybe in 3 or 4 weeks. I don't know if it is little or lot compared to other top user but i love textblaze.

@rksg77 That's awesome! The drop down option is probably my favorite style for using multiple snippets. Are you using IF conditions with the drop-down options or importing snippets? I can send you a few screenshots if you are looking to organize your snippets even more.

Thank you, and I apologize for the delay in responding as I was too busy to check the email. Here are some questions and issues that I need to get resolved:

1. How can I use 'if-else' in a dropdown menu?

2. I have another issue: I want some snippet text to be auto-selected when I use the snippet. For example, in 'Hello, my name is Batman,' I would like the word 'Batman' to be auto-selected. I tried using {key:ctrl-shift-rightarrow}, but it’s not working. I don't want to use text fields.
   If you can answer me the second question i would be really grateful thanks

Hi @rksg77

For question #1 You can do something like this where you would choose your option in the drop-down box on the top and each choice would be linked to an IF condition.

{note}{formmenu: default=Choice A; Choice B; Choice C; name=Snippet}

{endnote}{if: Snippet == "Choice A"; trim=left}{import: /snippet#1}{endif}

{if: Snippet == "Choice B"; trim=left}{import: /snippet#2}{endif}

{if: Snippet == "Choice C"; trim=left}{import: /snippet#3}{endif}

For question #2: I need a little more for this question. Do you have a drop-down and want a specific name to be automatically auto-selected?
