indicating word beginnings in snippets?

[kagi]

Hi there, is it possible to setup expansion like this:

keyword: k@

snippet: k@mywebsite.com

 

keyword: karthik@

snippet: karthik@outlook.com

 

 

Cheers,
Karthik

@kagi I'm not sure I understand what you're saying? Do you just want k@ to be your keyword? If so, just create a snippet with that keyword

 

If you want all your snippets within a collection to end with @, then you can set a suffix:

If I've misunderstood your question, please give more details about what you're looking for and I'll be happy to help!

Hi Vero, thanks for the response. What I want is for k@ to expand to 'phrase1' and, say, ak@ to expand to 'phrase2' In otherwords, I do not want k@ to expand when I type karthik@. Does that make sense?

 

In otherwords I want to be able to designate few snippets as 'whole word only'. In the above example, k@ would be designated as needing to be a whole word and not part of another word

@kagi First, it looks like you've enabled "Expand snippets mid-string" in Alfred's Features > Snippets > Auto Expansion Options, so disable this to avoid the mid-string expansions you're seeing:

Beyond this, I would encourage you to look at setting better keywords that aren't accidentally triggered. For example, you may want to set a collection-wide prefix:

Perfect. That did it. Thanks Vero
