This works fine. I would prefer though that my snippets would be
stored separatelly from the QuickLaunch command list. This way the
management would be better imho, because "QuickLaunch" contains too
much stuff already.
Btw, if I insert all snippets to the Quicklaunch command list as
submenu items, is it possible to configure another hotkey that would
show that submenu as a main menu?

Nice idea and very useful indeed. Thanks Alan :-)
Another question that comes to my mind is this one: is it possible
to use name field as a variable in the example above? Like:
- Name: &Regards
- Command: oldclip=clip.get
commands box:
- Clip FilePaste {=Name field*}.txt ?
- clip.set(oldclip)
so that
Clip FilePaste {=Name field*}.txt
upon execution is resolved as:
Clip FilePaste &Regards.txt
I ask this because I want to be able to add snippets with as less
efford as possible. In this case, in order to add a snippet, I'd
simply have to add a new text file to the snippets directory, clone
an already existent snippet item and edit it's name.

This is an awkward problem:
If I assign the "*Menu show MySnippets" to a hotkey then everything
works properly. This problem occurs only when the menu MySnippets is
loaded from within another menu via a "*Menu Show MySnippets"
command.
eg:
run emeditor -> make sure it has the focus and caret is blinking ->
press hotkey win+s -> menu MySnippets is shown -> select a snippet -
> this always works ok
but:
run emeditor -> make sure it has the focus and caret is blinking ->
press win+space (open QuickLaunch as a menu) -> select Sn&ippets
item (QuickLaunch menu is *replaced by "MySnippets") -> select a
snippet item -> this causes an occasional "Cannot find window to
change or to send keys to " error!
I have verified that this error occurs even when emeditor is the
active window and the cursor is blinking in emeditor's text area :/

K, I will have that in mind.
