Hi, I’m Breanne Kunz, VP of Product here at TextExpander! We love hearing from our customers, and now that we have our official TextExpander Community, it’s easier than ever to connect with you and learn how you want TextExpander to evolve.
So tell us: What’s on your TextExpander wish list? What new features or improvements would you like to see in future versions?
Two things I’d love to see in TextExpander:
I’d love to see some sort of tagging function for my snippets/snippet groups. Similar to the way I can tag a single email in gmail with multiple tags
I would love to see:
Cool idea! Would you want to search by tags? What are some example scenarios you would want with tagging?
Thanks! I guess I’m thinking about tags I might have for any customer in a certain industry or for a certain project I’m working on. This might be helpful if I want to search through a collection of Snippet Groups across my personal and shared snippets
Tags could add an extra layer of organization. So let’s say I use @Rextexpander’s method of grouping Snippets by where they’re used. So I might have one group for email Snippets and another group for chat Snippets. But then if each group has customer support Snippets, I could tag those with something like #cs so I could easily pull up all of my customer support Snippets regardless of how I have them grouped together.
@megan @josh.centers Those use cases make a lot of sense, thank you!
I absolutely love the idea of tags in your label fields!! It adds an extra layer of indexicality!!
+10 pts to @Rextexpander for “indexicality”! 
I have created and shared many snippets with my team that expand SQL queries used for data retrieval. Many of these snippets use the single-line fill-ins so users can enter a specific account ID from which the query uses as a filter. Most of these snippets are long and it can become easy to lose sight of where the specific filters are applied. I would like a way to quickly identify after the expansion the areas using fill-ins as a way to quickly verify that I copied or entered the correct value.
I’ve got one more 
I’d love to see some sort of spellcheck enabled in the desktop client. Sometimes I’m drafting longer email responses right in TextExpander, only to find a bunch of spelling errors once I expand it. It’s not a huge deal to go back and edit the Snippet, but would be helpful if I caught those things during creation.
I’m basic…
— I hope this is being worked on.Perhaps this is very basic and maybe it can already be done and I just don’t know it.
The team would be so happy not to manually link it every time, multiple times per day.
Thank you!
I totally agree that you should be able to hotlink text in Popup Menus! I’ve submitted it to Productboard.
Thank you Josh!
I have another one! (I live in a world full of Fill-In:Popup Menus)
Is it possible to format the Fill-in:Popup Menu to allow a blank Popup Option box to accept free text? For example currently I have “(enter name)” as a Popup Option as a reminder to enter a proper name when the other options in the menu don’t apply but this means the user has to erase (enter name) and then type in the applicable name.
“… as you make medical decisions on (enter name) behalf.”
Thank you for your time 
Hi, @adheatley, I’ve also logged this one to our requested features list.
Thank you again @josh.centers!
This is fun.
I’ve been documenting how to create Snippets, and it’s revealed a couple more things I’d like to add to my wish list.
You can insert the current date and time as an option in a Pop-Up Menu.
What would be much more useful is if you could apply date and time math. For instance, you could have a Popup-Menu to insert:
JavaScript is one of our coolest features, and you don’t have to dig much in the community to see great examples. But if you have a JS Snippet with a Fill-In, it’s not a fantastic experience.
One workaround is to use the Show at Top feature to place the Fill-Ins at the top of the window and hide the code, but I think we could hide all of the code in that window by default.
