Installing from source:

      setx PATH "%PATH%;[PathCopied]"
    

Configuration:

  1. Run the following command to configure the text replacements

     sniplet --config
    
  2. Alternatively, you can create your own file with the following specification and save it as a txt file. An example is provided inside config-files

     Short:
     [Shortcut name]
     Repl:
     [Replacement lines]
     ...
    

Usage:

  1. To start Sniplet just invoke sniplet and mention the config file you want to use (created using --config)
