Find a snippet. Copy it. Keep going.

Quick Panel is a compact search view for your local library.

Open and search

Open Quick Panel from the app or with its global shortcut, then type to search titles, tags, shortcodes and content.

Edition Default shortcut
macOS 1.0 Control-Shift-Space (⌃⇧Space)
Windows 1.2 Ctrl+Alt+Space
Linux 1.0 Ctrl+Alt+Space

You can change or turn off the shortcut in Settings. Historical Windows 1.0.x releases have no default shortcut; assign one in Settings.

Copy, then paste

Select a result and press Enter (Return on a Mac) to copy it and close the panel. Switch to your destination app and paste. SnippetPilot does not paste or type for you. Text expansion is a separate feature.

If a shortcut does not work

Check the configured shortcut and conflicts with other apps. Desktop environments, especially on Linux Wayland, handle global shortcuts differently. You can always open Quick Panel from the app or its menu.

Ask for help with your platform, app version and reproduction steps. Do not include private snippets.
