QUILL Quillin Wizard

Quillin Snippet Wizard

Make your own snippet Quillin without writing any code. Fill in the form below, then copy or download your manifest.json file.

A snippet Quillin adds menu items and keyboard shortcuts that type text into your document for you. The text can include placeholders, such as ${selection} for the text you have selected or ${date} for today's date. When you want to do more, the Quillin tutorial shows you how to add Python.

1. Extension identity

Shown in menus and the Quillins Manager. Max 80 characters. Name is required (max 80 characters).
Reverse-DNS, all lowercase. e.g. com.example.wraptools Must be lowercase letters, digits, dots, hyphens, or underscores. Min 3 chars.
Semantic version: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH Must be MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, e.g. 1.0.0
Your name or handle. Optional.
Choose a licence for your Quillin.
Leave blank unless you need a specific version. e.g. 1.0.0 Must be MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH if provided.
One or two sentences about what your Quillin does. Max 400 characters.

2. Commands and snippets

Each command adds one item to a menu. The snippet is the text it types when you choose that item. Use the placeholder buttons to add things that change each time, like the date.

3. Capabilities (auto-derived)

Capabilities are the permissions a Quillin asks for. A snippet Quillin needs none, unless it uses ${clipboard}, which needs permission to read the clipboard (clipboard.read). You do not have to set this yourself; the wizard works it out from your snippets.

None required

4. Your manifest.json

This updates as you type. If anything needs fixing, it is listed here first. When there is nothing to fix, copy it or download it.
