Use Raycast snippets on macOS to quickly insert the text that you use the most

In this video, I'll walk you through everything you need to know about Raycast snippets, a powerful tool to boost your productivity on macOS. We'll start with what Raycast is and how to install it using Brew.

We'll dive into snippets and how they can save you time with tasks like creating email templates, filling out forms, or adding frequently used text. Learn about dynamic headings and placeholders to make your snippets even more powerful. I'll show you how to expand snippets with a keyword and adjust their response time for optimal efficiency.

We'll also cover macOS text replacements, using snippets for code blocks, and even running scripts directly from snippets. Plus, I'll help you decide whether to use snippets or command-line aliases for your workflow.

There's also a tip on how to configure the hyper key with Karabiner-Elements and creating markdown links and todo items in Obsidian.
