Search and Select Your Snippet

Once PhraseVault is open, use the search bar to find the specific code snippet, configuration, or command you need. Start typing keywords, and PhraseVault will filter your saved entries in real-time.

Navigate through the filtered list using the ↓ key. This makes it easy to find the exact snippet you need, enhancing your productivity during coding sessions.

Insert the Snippet into Your Code

After highlighting the desired snippet, press Enter to insert it directly into your code editor or terminal at the cursor's position. This seamless process helps you code more efficiently.

You can repeat this process to insert multiple snippets, making it ideal for building boilerplate code structures or running a series of CLI commands. From a terminal or a script, the optional phrasevault command can search, expand, and export the same snippets.
