Snippy - Text Snippet Expander - Linux DMENU

Thanks to @elwoode on twitter for the recommendation =D

Meet snippy With this small script, you can type an abbreviation for the snippet, invoke snippy with a hotkey and have the required text expanded/replaced. It only works in X applications that understands control+x for cut and control+v for paste. The good thing is that it will work for (almost) all your apps, in OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. No need to rely on the app-specific solution.
