Snippets

Snippets save you from retyping the same account number, address, introduction, or template. They skip correction and go in exactly as saved.

Saving​

There are two ways:

  • Select the text, press ⌃⇧C, then press w (Save as snippet) in the grid. Enter a name and save.
  • In Settings → Snippets, press Add and write a name and body.

Turn on Suggest a name in Settings → Snippets to let the LLM propose names. It is off by default. When on, the first 500 characters of the text are sent to your LLM provider.

Inserting​

  1. Put the cursor where the text should go.
  2. Press ⌃⇧V.
  3. Type part of the name or body to filter.
  4. Choose with ↑/↓ and press ⏎.
KeyAction
⏎Insert the selected snippet at the cursor.
⌘1–⌘9Insert the 1st to 9th visible item directly. Numbers follow the filtered list.
⌘⏎Put it on the clipboard instead of the cursor. Use it where pasting cannot reach, such as remote desktops.
escClose without inserting.

Snippets skip the dictation queue, so they go in immediately even during a meeting recording. Sogon doesn't add them to the dictation history.

Managing​

Settings → Snippets
  • In the Settings → Snippets list, select several with ⇧-click or ⌘-click and press ⌫ to delete them together. The confirmation shows how many will be deleted.
  • The list keeps the order you set. Sogon never reorders it by usage.
  • Several snippets can share a name.
  • Change the shortcut in Settings → General → Recording → Snippet Shortcut.

Sogon is not a clipboard history app. It never collects what you copy; it only keeps the phrases you save.
