Here you can: - Ask questions about Text Blaze - Post feature requests and vote on other requests - Share and find great snippets When posting, you can embed snippets in your posts by enclosing them with [snippet]...[/snippet]. For example: ```auto [snippet] Example snippet. It's currently {time: LLLL} [/snippet] ``` Will be shown as: Example snippet. It's currently {time: LLLL} You can give the snippet a name by including the name in the opening brackets: ```auto [snippet name="Current Time Formatting"] Example snippet. It's currently {time: LLLL} [/snippet] ``` Becomes: Example snippet. It's currently {time: LLLL} ---

Hi @patiemo44, Here's a short video that walks you through how to fix the issue: [![](https://community.blaze.today/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1a36d236563df6e9618ee9012983d08611684a18.jpeg "Conflicting Shortcuts - Text Blaze Troubleshooting") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqa0J36uG60) ---

@bester there is no way to do this change automatically at the moment. You will need to do the changes manually for each snippet. If you have a lot of snippets and this is too tedious, a workaround is to export all your snippets and edit the exported file (for example as a .csv and then running a find-and-replace). Then import the edited file. ---

Hi @Fernando_Enrique_Bel, Welcome to the forum 🙂 Are you using Text Blaze extension or desktop app? Do you hear a click sound after typing your shortcut? Is your shortcut getting cleared successfully? ---

Hi @textblaze4 and welcome to the forum. There are no restriction on the shortcut you use. You can put a spacial charachter like / or " at the beginning, end, middle of the word or not at all. Starting with a / is simply the default. ---

Interestingly (and in hindsight predictably 🙂 My slash character was interpreted as an escape for my closing double quote so I meant to say "\" and not "") I guess whatever character is used and wherever it is placed you still have to monitor every keystroke. Could you expand text blaze so it's not just chrome that can host it? I've now got a parallel set up to my use of gboard And with Chrome dispensing with even the illusion of not being agents of fingerprinting ad tracking etc Brave, Firefox etc are looking like they will be the browsers to use very soon... If that means I lose keyboard macros on the desktop then so be it Are your product Road map details published anywhere? Caio Simon ---

We have a desktop app for both [Windows](https://blaze.today/windows/) and [Mac](https://blaze.today/mac) apps, which allows you to use Text Blaze anywhere on your computer, not just chrome. The extension also works on all chromium browsers such as Brave, Edge, Opera. > I guess whatever character is used and wherever it is placed you still have to monitor every keystroke. The extension stores keystrokes locally to be able to trigger your snippets, but this information never leaves your computer and it's always erased at very short intervals. ---
