Input with multiple choice[Feature]

[rafaelpsmed]

Hi. First of all, amazing app. Very helpful. Thks for doing it

Second, I would like to suggest the possibility of a multiple choice input, like a combobox Ex. {input: left/right} nodule on liver

{input: moderate/severe} fluid on abdominal cavity

Then, on snippet input, a little combobox (or something like that) would appear for the user to choose the text.

Dont know if I made myself clear. Sorry if this feature was already requested.

Thank you for the suggestion. I would have already implemented this if there wasn't a problem with dialogs popping up while you type. Windows has an anti-malware mechanism that prevent a window from being popped out of nowhere and stealing the focus (this is a safety mechanism to protect users from malwares). The dialog will generally be displayed behind the active window, with a blinking icon in the taskbar. The problem already exists with the user input variable. (Beeftext combo picker is not affected because it is triggered by a global keyboard shortcut).

I keep your suggestion open but it's unlikely to be implemented until I have a work-around for the problem.

Couldn't you solve it with 'temporary pastes'?

Let say, I type: SnipperTrigger If the application temporary pastes; COMBO CHOOSER - 1. Option1 2. Option2 3. Option3 and pastes the Option when I press 1, 2 or 3, it would be solved.

So the flow; User types: SnipperTrigger Beeftext temporary pastes: COMBO CHOOSER - 1. Option1 2. Option2 3. Option3 User types: 2 Beeftext replaces paste with: Option2

Make sure to allow Option2 to be the identifier of a larger snippet. If both Option1, Option2 and Option3 are huge texts, this solution is not feasible.
