How snippets work

A snippet is text with blanks. Search it by name, fill the blanks in the launcher, and it lands where you were typing.

Arguments, asked in the launcher

Write {name} and the launcher asks for it before inserting. Up to three.

The caret lands where you say

Put {cursor} anywhere in the text. After inserting, that is where you keep typing.

Any field, any site

One snippet, every editor. No field focused, and the text is copied instead.

Save what you already wrote

Highlight text on any page, open the launcher, and run Save Selection as Snippet. The body is filled in, you give it a name and a few keywords, and it is ready to insert anywhere. Manage Snippets is where you edit, rename, or remove them, one at a time or several at once.

Blanks that fill themselves

Some placeholders never ask. {date} and {time} insert the current date and time, {url} the page you are on, {selection} what you highlighted, and {copied} your last copy. Write {selection || copied} and the first one with a value wins.

No trigger words

Classic text expanders watch every keystroke for a trigger like ;sig. UtilEngine only wakes up when you press your shortcut.

Snippets run from the launcher. Press your shortcut, type a few letters of the snippet's name, hit Enter. You decide when a snippet runs, so there is no trigger to mistype.

Your snippets follow your account. Save one in Chrome at work and it is in Brave at home, next to your sessions, bookmarks, AI commands, and settings.

Snippets, answered

What is a snippet?

A piece of text you save once and insert by name. An email sign-off, a support reply, a code block, a meeting agenda. Search it in the launcher, press Enter, and it lands in the field you were typing in.

Where can I insert snippets?

Any input, text area, or rich text editor on any page. If no field is focused, or you hold Shift, the text is copied to your clipboard instead.

How do arguments work?

Write a placeholder in braces, like {name}, and the launcher asks for it before inserting. A snippet can ask for up to three. Write {a || b} and the first placeholder with a value is used.

Which placeholders fill in on their own?

{date}, {time}, {url}, {selection}, and {copied}. There are also {tab-text} for the visible text of the page and {text:selector} to pull the text of one element.

Can I control where the cursor ends up?

Yes. Put {cursor} anywhere in the snippet and the caret lands there after inserting.

Can I turn text I already wrote into a snippet?

Yes. Highlight it, open the launcher, and run Save Selection as Snippet. If nothing is highlighted it uses your last copied text.

Do snippets sync?

Yes. Snippets follow your UtilEngine account across Chrome, Brave, Edge, and other Chromium browsers, together with your sessions, bookmarks, AI commands, and settings.

Is there a trigger word, like typing ;sig?

No. Snippets run from the launcher, which only wakes up when you press your shortcut. Type the snippet's name and press Enter.

How long can a snippet be?

Up to 10,000 characters.
