Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

The app is great but I feel one could extend the usage of shortcuts to the custom snippets data that is added. Instead of the snippet folder popping up once the hotkey combo is pressed and then me selecting what to get to the clipboard, one could just extend the shortcut to put the contents on the pasteboard.
Ex. Suppose I create a snippet called important links and have the shortcut :- Double tap 'option'
and in that snippet I have my github link at 1 and LinkedIn at 2.
Instead of having to press the 'option' key twice and then select the one, why not have double 'option' + '1' give me the github and double 'option' + '2' give me LinkedIn

I was looking precisely for this. I really need something that would allow me to paste snippets directly without the need to navigate folders or anything. Just sort of a quick paste of a pre-defined snippet.
@vedantpuri did you happen to find a way to do this?
@vedantpuri commented on GitHub (Apr 26, 2019):
@ClaudioSobrinho Unfortunately, I was preoccupied with other things so didn't really pursue this further. The easiest way to do this in clipy is to execute the shortcut for the folder then press the number you want and then hit enter.
Although, a useful way to go about this was suggested to me by one of my friends. It could be done using mac's native text substitution shortcut. Even though its not exactly the same but it satisfies the purpose. A video for mac's text substitution can be found here
@ClaudioSobrinho commented on GitHub (Apr 29, 2019):
Thank you @vedantpuri, unfortunately the mac's text substitution wouldn't work in my use case, alas, I solved my problem using the keyboard mastro app. Wasn't really keen on adding yet another app to do this but it solved my problem.

Just discovered this app, another vote for shortcut to directly paste a snippet.

I'm new to Clipy but I'm not new to a Mac. I have ClipMenu, but that's getting pretty old so I downloaded Clipy. I can't get snippets to paste. It works just fine with ClipMenu
@Johnnyk1 commented on GitHub (Dec 13, 2024):
Did this issue ever get solved? The same problem here. Can't paste snippets without opening folder, hi-liting the item, copy it then paste.
@ClaudioSobrinho commented on GitHub (Dec 17, 2024):
Hey @Johnnyk1, I don't really remember what I was doing back then 😅, but apparently I didn't use Clipy for it.
I have been, all these years, a faithful user of Clipy and I can't recommend it enough, amazing tool, I have it set up to have the first 10 items not in a folder so that I'm quicker at selecting what I want to paste from the recent clipboard history. That way I can use the hotkey + number of selection + enter to quickly paste without the mouse. I'd prefer to not have to select enter in the end, but it's a very minor inconvenience. I got used to this and it's better than anything else I've tried for my use case. Hope it works for you as well.

Thanks for the reply, but doesn't address the snippet issue. I agree with the rest of your comment.
