    It'd be really useful if snippets could recognise and maintain the case I use when triggering them.
     
    For example, if I type "lmk" Alfred would automatically expand it to "let me know". But if I type "Lmk" it would expand to "Let me know". Or "lMk" or "lmK" for that matter. At the moment I have to create two versions like so:
     

     
    Which I guess isn't so hard... but y'know. 
     
    I used to use https://textexpander.com/ which allows for this, but in a fit of consolidation I was hoping to streamline my apps.

    Agreed, I'd say this missing feature really makes snippets un-usable - because you'd need to make 2 shortcuts for each word where this is possible. 
     
    FYI, Keyboard Maestro handles this as well

    I agree with @timtops that capitalization of snippets is a huge deficiency.
     
    Another simple example:
     
    I have set "thx" to expand to "thanks".
     
    But context matters for capitalization, for example:
     
    "I sent my thanks to John" vs. "Thanks."
     
    I would type the former keyword as "thx" and the latter as "Thx." But currently Alfred only will recognize and expand "thx" and do nothing to "Thx", which requires me to create two different snippets, one capitalized and one not. Should not be needed.
     
    I have also used TextExpander as well as aText and they both handle this.
     
    Thanks.
