Markdown Clips for Nova
Markdown Clips is a collection of basic, extended, and GitHub Flavoured Markdown syntax snippets, for use with Panic Inc's Nova IDE.
Proudly made, with love, in the UK.
You can install this extension through the Extension Library. Search for Markdown Clips and press Install.
- Download the extension from the project's GitHub repository.
- Double click the .novaextension file you download and opt for installation when Nova prompts you.
Don't forget to set your document syntax to Markdown, so the extension can work its magic. (You can set the default syntax in Nova's Editor settings if you want new files to begin in the Markdown format).
Markdown Clips will make suggestions as you type words and phrases into the Nova editor. You can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move up and down the autosuggest list, and press Enter to insert your selection.
You can also open the Clips sidebar to visually browse the library. Nova will let you double click, or click and drag into the editor.
You can also invoke clip suggestions using related syntax. For example, typing a right facing chevron > will autosuggest all block-quote clips and typing a left facing square bracket [ will autosuggest all link clips.

Some keystrokes are protected by Nova and don't trigger autocomplete. For these I've assigned different single character triggers.
Text can be made bold, italic, and underlined using the familiar Cmd+B, Cmd+I, and Cmd+U commands. Markdown Clips will apply these formatting styles to selected text too.
If you find Markdown Clips useful and would like to support the project, you can always buy me a coffee.
