How do I add a space to the end of a snippet

[topherboulevard]

I'm using Snippets as a text expander. Is it possible to add a space to the end of each "]".

 

I thought I could leave a space after "]" followed by {cursor} within the snippet but this doesn't seem to do the trick. Thanks!

@topherboulevard Welcome to the forum

 

Could you please let me know what app you're pasting into? If you test in TextEdit with your snippet followed by a space, you'll find the space is included, with your snippet to the right.

 

If you're using a different app, it may be that the app is manipulating the content and truncating the space away; For example, I've just tested this and Google Docs in Safari kept the trailing space, but Evernote (an Electron app) truncated it away.

 

In other words, Alfred will paste your snippet exactly as you've created it, but the destination app may modify this before pasting.

 

Cheers,

Thanks Vero, so it does!

It doesn't include the space on Chrome but I'll mainly use it for Finder anyway so that'd not a problem.
