TextExpander to AutoComplete: can I chain AutoCompletes?

1

Hi!
I’m starting to move my TextExpander snippets to using built-in Drafts constructs.

I believe most of my snippets would work fine as autocomplete expressions, but is there a way to chain/invoke several of them from another one?

Let me give an example: In TE I have these snippets:

  • sdate (inserts date like 20250124)
  • ;stime (insterts time like 21.32.44)

And then another snippet that chains them:

  • ..tt which is defined in TE as %snippet:sdate%-%snippet:;stime% and inserts both - like 20250124-21.33.55

So I have created autocompletes for the building blocks using [[date|]] templates, but I’d like to know if I can create one that calls both(**)

Thanks!!

(**): Yes, I know that in this case I could probably create a single autocomplete that generates the output I want using a date template; but this is just one example of what I’m trying to do - I have several other examples!

No, that is not possible with autocomplete.

Ok, makes sense - thanks!
