It allows you to store clips for reuse. You can set hotkeys to access them, but you need to do another hotkey before you can access the hotkey you want , so a 2 step process. I suppose that could be good if you have massive repetitions In some ways it is similar to AutoHotKey or aText but its in a specific program, so may de-clutter what you have already as far as hotkeys go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_z81rr4Rf_g\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"> &lt;a href=&#8221;https:\/\/aecreations.io\/clippings\/index.php&#8221;>AE Creations \u00bb Clippings&lt;\/a> <\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See about placeholders<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aecreations.io\/clippings\/placeholders.php\">AE Creations \u00bb Clippings \u00bb help \u00bb placeholders<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Synchronize clippings<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aecreations.io\/clippings\/sync.php\">AE Creations \u00bb Clippings \u00bb sync clippings<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"firefox\">Firefox<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone was using it for email subjects, using Gmail in browser (not something I would do) Using it for repetitive tasks in WordPress- I wonder if you can do the formatting like h3 headings?
