Text Snippets In Linux Using A Script

Showing how I use text snippets in my linux system. I know this can be done with AutoHotkey but I kinda hate that.

+1 for your engineering mindset.
That's, IMO, the proper way to approach technical problems.

Amazing! I've installed and have been using Artix linux, but I just use the web browser and basic bash most of the time, you really inspire me to play around with scripting more, thank you!

Very cool video! Currently binging through your videos. They're insanely good and helpful and just exactly the type of input I needed to get my workflow automation creativity flowing. Pretty cool.

I especially like your engineering input. I think a lot of people are holding back from coding and creating things because they know what they have to do to make it perfect and are shying away from putting in the work. You raise a very good point here by saying it doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to get shit done. I'll definitely remember that

this is genius! i use rofi for so much stuff! never thought about using it like this! 100% make my workflow better!

I once made a rather complicated Python script to achieve the same result but holy smokes, this is a way nicer solution. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing! <3

I also 110% agree with your mindset. I really don't get why people always complain about certain things "one shouldn't do" .. as you said: One shouldn't put linebreaks in their filenames either. *sigh*

I really enjoy your videos. You explain things well and with humour, I always learn something. Keep em up please. :)

Really good solution. Thanks for this. The only drawback is that I couldn't use it in applications that either don't allow for clipboard or for rofi itself, as searching for the text snippet would automatically close other instances of rofi... At the moment I'm using Espanso, which is completely free and cross platform. I highly recommend it!

Lastly, really lookign forward to your videos on password management with rofi, and if possible also clipboard management with rofi.

I like counterpoint. Awesome man, thanks!

Loved the video! Thanks for it.
I went through the dot-files you have shared, but I couldn't find the bash prompt you have in this video, especially the part how both lines of your prompt are connected by that fancy curved line. If you are free, please lemme know how do I get the similar looking prompt?
Keep making such content, Thanks :)

as others have also mentions espanso is your friend :)

Where can I get your terminal colorscheme? Or is it a vim colorscheme?
