[Feature Request]: Simplify getting a snippet #133

Feature request

This app might become way more useful if you can find snippets with a hotkey and paste those in your current location.

Examples that do that are CopyQ, where you can press a hotkey and then search through your clipboard history and select and paste it in your previous location by pressing enter.

Another example is Typinator, which markets itself as a text expander. But on a hotkey, you can search all your options. What actually makes it a better snippet manager than anything else on the market. However, Typinator is only for macOS, and when you switch to other environments you miss something as useful as that.

This is how you search through your snippets:

Another very beneficial feature it has is when you create snippets you can mark those as sensitive and then those would be masked in the above image. (I was keeping some longer and less sensitive passwords on the snippet manager too)

I like the implementation of massCode, but I think it would become ten folds more useful if they make finding snippets way faster (and not tie themselves to editors with extensions)

To reproduce

To find a snippet you need:

  1. Open the app
  2. Click the search button
  3. Switch to the correct fragment
  4. Select the snippet you need

This process is way too time-consuming for something such as snippet management.
