ExpandIn: Only in Selected Apps ᴾᴿᴼ

Expand only in selected apps; typing the same abbreviation elsewhere won’t trigger. Keep expansion in VS Code, Cursor, or browser without triggering in chat or web inputs.

How to Set

  1. Open snippet or group settings.
  2. Find ExpandIn (or “Expand only in these apps”).
  3. Select or search apps (e.g. VS Code, Chrome, Cursor); multiple allowed.
  4. Save; that snippet or group only responds to “abbreviation + trigger” in those apps.

If no app is selected, it applies everywhere (see in-app UI).

Best for: Heavy snippet use in IDE and browser without triggering in chat (e.g. WeChat, Slack).
