Usage

• After launching, import a snippets file (see below) by choosing the Select Snippets File menu item.
• Once snippets have been imported, you can use the Type Next Snippet menu item or its keyboard shortcut, ^⌥⌘;, to cause the first snippet to be typed into the frontmost app.
• MonkeyDo will automatically prepare the next enabled snippet
• At any time, you can start over by selecting Reset to First Snippet or import another snippets file entirely.
• You can add, delete, toggle, and reorder snippets using the built-in snippet editor.

Snippets file format

The snippets file is JSON, and is generally automatically managed by MonkeyDo if you use the built-in snippet editor.

If you prefer to create the file manually, there is a sample file.

Known issues

• Multi-byte characters (incl. emoji) in input text don't type correctly.
• The global shortcut doesn't work for users with hardware keyboards where semicolon is in a different location from that of a QWERTY keyboard.
