Superhuman-Style Snippets

Quickly insert common responses, templates, and commands into tasks and comments with keyboard shortcuts inspired by Superhuman.

Tip

Mastering these shortcuts keeps you in the flow. Try memorizing three to five for your most common use cases, then gradually expand.

Insert predefined text with .

Type a period (.) at the start of a task description or comment body to open a menu of predefined snippets. Common examples include:

Shortcut	Inserts
.ack	Confirmation acknowledgement
.hire remind	Automated hiring process reminder template
.contact patch format	Standard format for requesting a patch
.contact address data	Request for all address details
.oro	Orchestration request
.oro test	Orchestration test request
Orchestration mention	Appointment scheduling
oro reminder	Orchestration reminder
oro reminder 10m	Orchestration reminder at a specific time
oro reminder 10m now	Orchestration reminder at a specific time with a current timestamp
oro reminderbooking	Orchestration reminder booking
oro reminder:thanks	Orchestration reminder closing
oro test reminder	Orchestration test reminder
oro reminder success	Orchestration reminder success message

Note

Snippets are organized by category. Type a few letters to narrow down suggestions, or scroll through the full list.

Create or open snippets with <kbd>Ctrl+K</kbd>

Press <kbd>Ctrl+K</kbd> while writing a task or comment to open the command palette. Search for “Create snippet” or “Perform snippet” to use or save snippets.

How to create a snippet:

1. Type the content you want to reuse — a common response, template, or command.
2. Press <kbd>Ctrl+K</kbd>.
3. Search for “Create snippet” and select it.
4. Give the snippet a short name (e.g., “Acknowledgement template” or “Patch request”).
5. The page reloads into a fresh full-page snippet view. From there, save the snippet by using the appropriate command or button.

How to use an existing snippet:

1. Press <kbd>Ctrl+K</kbd>.
2. Search for “Perform snippet” followed by the snippet name.
3. Typing the snippet name directly (e.g., .oro) also inserts the content immediately.

Tip

Say you frequently write a standard acknowledgement like “Thank you for the update. I’ve noted this and will get back to you by [time].”. Instead of typing it every time, save it as a snippet and insert with . whenever you need it.
