Run Clippets

Clippets needs a file to hold your snippets, here we assume is it called snippets.txt and does not already exist. Run Clippets using one of the following commands [1]:

clippets snippets.txt
snippets snippets.txt

The first time you run this command Clippets will create a minimal snippet hierarchy and offer to create the file.

Click on the ‘Create’ button or just press the ‘Enter’ key. Then press the following keys:

1. Enter

2. Down

3. Down

4. Enter

Your terminal should look like:

Open or switch to a word processor program and perform a paste operation (for example by typing Control-V). The 2 snippets you chose should be pasted into your document.

Where next

The F1 key will bring up a help screen to give you a brief summary of how to use Clippets.

The User guide provides detailed information on how to make progress with Clippets.
