Quicker way to create snippets?

[jb510]

I find create snippets cumbersome, so I often don't do it.

 

Is there an easier way to create snippets on the fly than opening up alfred preferences and filling things in there? 

 

It really seems like there should be a workflow where I can take something in my clipboard history and quickly make it into a saved snippet.

At this point, the only way to create snippets is in the Snippets section of Alfred's preferences, but we have great plans for Alfred's clipboard and snippets feature in the future

Any update on this? I'd love to be able to create a snippet through a workflow, or by a right click action. It's truthfully very slow right now.

You can now use cmd+s on any entry in Alfred's clipboard history!

Awesome!!! This tip should be propagated more!

I'm a big fan of this Cmd+S feature too! And I think we need a similar one to quickly edit existing snippets as well! See my recent post "Hotkey to edit existing snippet" and help me push it
