Creating and managing snippets

• Click + New in the toolbar.
• Give it a title (required) and a body (what gets pasted).
• Optionally add an abbreviation, tags, collections, and a description (notes for yourself; never pasted).
• Press Save once for a new snippet. From then on it saves itself as you type.
• Drag and drop a snippet onto a sidebar folder to move it, or right-click and use Move To.

Several at once

Hover a snippet and a checkbox appears over its icon. Tick one and every row gets a box, and a bar at the top of the list shows how many you've picked. From the bar you can move them all to a collection, add a tag to all of them, or delete them.

• While anything is ticked, a click on a row ticks it instead of opening it.
• ⇧-click ticks everything between two rows. ⇧-click with nothing ticked starts from the snippet that's open.
• ⌘A ticks every snippet in the list, Esc clears the ticks, and ⌘⌫ deletes the ticked ones after asking.
• Deleted snippets can come back: TypeFire keeps a restore point of your whole library before anything is removed, in Settings → Snippets.

Duplicate in a snippet's menu makes "Title (copy)", then "Title (copy 2)" and so on. Two snippets can't share a title in the same collection, or share an abbreviation; the editor says which one is in the way.

You can also find a snippet by typing its abbreviation into the search box.
