Snippets and spellcheck
Text snippets
Section titled “Text snippets”A text snippet is a piece of text you insert by name, such as a sign-off, a disclaimer, or a component you use in every post. Manage them in Settings > Features > Text snippets, and click New snippet to add one.
Each snippet becomes a command named Insert: followed by its name, so you can run it from the command palette (Ctrl+P) or give it a hotkey in Settings > Hotkeys.
Snippets can hold placeholders, filled in when you insert them:
| Placeholder | Becomes |
|---|---|
{{selection}} |
The selected text, so a snippet can wrap it |
{{cursor}} |
Where the caret goes afterwards |
{{date}} |
Today, in the date format from Settings |
{{time}} |
The current time, as HH:MM |
{{title}} |
The post’s title |
Spellcheck
Section titled “Spellcheck”Zeku underlines misspelled words as you write. Right-click a word for suggestions, or to add it to your dictionary. Code, inline code, and URLs are left alone.
Your dictionary belongs to your computer, not to a project, so it never reaches your repo. Turn spellcheck off in Settings > Usability > Spellcheck.
Zeku checks English, with a dictionary built into the app, so spellcheck works the same on every platform and offline.
