Dynamic tokens

Placeholders that resolve when the snippet expands. Wrap in double braces: {{token}}.

Date and time

Token	Output
{{date}}	2026-04-12
{{date:YYYY}}	2026
{{date:MMMM DD, YYYY}}	April 12, 2026
{{date:dddd}}	Saturday
{{time}}	02:30 PM
{{time:HH:mm}}	14:30
{{datetime}}	04/12/2026, 02:30:00 PM

Date math

{{date:+1d}} tomorrow · {{date:-7d}} a week ago · {{date:+1M}} next month · {{date:+1y}} next year.

Units: y years, M months, d days, h hours, m minutes, s seconds.

Add a format after the shift to control how it reads: {{date:+1M:MMMM}} gives you next month's name, {{date:+1d:dddd}} gives tomorrow's weekday, {{date:-7d:MMM D}} gives Apr 5. Without a format a shifted date comes out as 2026-04-12.

The same works for {{time:}} and {{datetime:}}: {{time:+2h:HH:mm}} is two hours from now. Only the first colon separates the shift from the format, so a format may contain colons of its own.

Everything else

Token	What it does
{{clipboard}}	Pastes current clipboard contents
{{cursor}}	Puts your cursor here after expansion (plain text only)
{{snippet:abbr}}	Expands another snippet by abbreviation
{{note:Vault::Title}}	Inserts a note's current text
{{key:enter}}	Newline
{{key:tab}}	Tab character
{{nbsp}}	Non-breaking space
{{fill:Label}}	Stops and asks you for a value, see below

The Tokens toolbar above the editor inserts these for you. It shows fewer options for script types, since only some tokens are safe inside script source.

Fill-in placeholders

Some snippets are the same every time apart from a name or an amount. {{fill:...}} is the gap you fill in as it expands.

Write {{fill:Name}} anywhere in the body. When the snippet expands, TypeFire opens a small form, you type the values, and the finished text goes into whatever you were writing in.

You write	What happens
{{fill:Name}}	A field labeled Name
{{fill:Amount|0.00}}	A field labeled Amount, prefilled with 0.00

The Cursor group in the Tokens toolbar inserts both for you.

Good to know:

• The label is required. {{fill}} on its own does nothing, because the label is what the form puts above the box.
• Each field is asked once. Use {{fill:Name}} twice and you are asked once; both places get the same answer.
• Enter inserts, Escape cancels. Canceling leaves your abbreviation exactly as you typed it, so nothing is lost.
• An empty field disappears from the finished text, which is how you make an optional line.
• It works with AI tokens. Fill-ins are collected first, so {{ai:custom:translate {{fill:Text}} to Hindi}} asks you for the text, then sends the result to the AI.
