yasnippet VS inkscape-shortcut-manager

There's YASnippet, which could be used in much the same way as the tools that were described.

Although the Org manual says that YASnippet doesn’t play well, I personally haven’t had any issues. Maybe I’ve just been lucky? But I do have a snippet that uses the format command to create an Org inactive timestamp. Just a thought.

For the first question, I would look into a template system like Yasnippet or tempo. I think that’s the best approach for it, and I’m not sure if you can do it with completion methods like corfu

I second yasnippet, it is extremely handy for all sorts of boilerplate (like LaTeX preambles, environments). There are many contributed snippets in the yasnippet-snippets repo that you can look at as examples.

Hmmm... Maybe yasnippet?

(defun whatacold/yasnippet-exit-hook () "My yasnippet exit hook." (when (or (eq major-mode 'c-mode) (eq major-mode 'c++-mode)) (whatacold/yasnippet-exit-hook-c))) ;; see https://github.com/joaotavora/yasnippet/issues/728 ;; (after! c-or-c++-mode) ;;

Yasnippet might work. It's mostly used for programming related expansion, but I see no reason it wouldn't work for this too: https://github.com/joaotavora/yasnippet

Ah the code generation in the gif is from a plugin (Yasnippet) for the main editor I'm using (Emacs) to write GDScript. So not the built-in editor in Godot, no. The only bits I wrote is what keys expand into what on top of the snippet language, but they're just dumb text expansions and are unaware of any language specific context, e.g. this is the map one:

I am unable to reply to any comments, so I’ll add my reply to blagie as a top-level comment instead: Gilles himself documents his process of using Inkscape here: castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-2/

As a summary, he uses a custom keyboard shortcut manager¹ which allows him to compos multiple keystrokes (and also saves commonly used styles):

> For example, when I press `s` and `f` simultaneously, my shortcut manager will apply a solid stroke and a grey fill to the current selection. When I want the stroke to be thick, I press `s+f+g` together, where `g` stands for thick (as the `t` key is hard to reach).

Since some of the underlying tools like inkscape-figures-manager and inkscape-shortcut-manager are specific to Linux and macOS (even worse, while the former does support macOS, the latter only support Linux, hence I need to write new scripts with macOS specific tool to achieve the same functionality), so sadly, windows users are left behind...

I'm reasonably proficient with the language and syntax of python however when it comes to making actual applications I don't really know where to start. I can make very simple applications using pyinstaller but I would be aiming for something with utility like this.
