Managing Hints, Shortcuts & Dynamic Templates

Hints are the core building blocks of Supahint. A Hint is a reusable text snippet, response template, or prompt that can be instantly inserted into any web form.

2. Dynamic Variables & Placeholders#

Supahint supports dynamic placeholders that automatically resolve when inserted into text inputs:

Example Dynamic Template:#

Best regards,
Support Team

3. Trigger Keys & Auto-Completion#

By default, typing / in any editable field (Gmail, Zendesk, Notion, Slack web, custom CRMs) triggers the Supahint overlay:

1. Type / followed by your hint keyword (e.g. /thanks).
2. Supahint displays matching templates ordered by relevance and usage frequency.
3. Press Enter to automatically replace your typed trigger with the full template text.

4. Select-Text Logger (Quick Capture)#

Need to save a helpful response you just typed?

1. Highlight the text snippet on any website.
2. Right-click and choose Save to Supahint Hints (or use the floating quick-capture button).
3. The selected text is saved directly into your hint repository for future reuse.

5. Pinning Favorite Hints#

Click the Pin icon next to frequently used hints. Pinned hints always appear at the top of your trigger overlay and sidepanel search results for maximum speed.
