For a use-case where I've copied thing 1, then I start my Textile, then I go and copy thing 2 from somewhere, and then Textile continues with the remaining steps with thing 1 and thing 2?
Can it wait/prompt for something new to be put onto the clipboard while it runs a Textile? For a use-case where I've copied thing 1, then I start my Textile, then I go and copy thing 2 from somewhere, and then Textile continues with the remaining steps with thing 1 and thing 2?
(1) When creating the textile, you would add a step to "wait for new clipboard data."
(2) When you run the textile, and it gets to that step, a modal would appear, prompting you to copy the new thing to your clipboard.
(3) Once you've got the new thing on your clipboard, you would go back and click "Continue" on the modal from step 2.
(4) Textile would continue with the new thing on your clipboard.

2. I have a single keybind that launches a script-selector and passes the currently selected text to it.
3. Script examples: save selection as markdown in a preset file (for use with LLMs); send selection to a temporary emacs buffer.
4. I have two shortcut that - take the current text area into emacs to edit it; then, send the emacs buffer back to the current selected area (by pasting). Useful for replying to messages
I’m a little confused what this does. Is it like espanso?
I'm not too familiar with Espanso, but Textile is not a text expander. Textile allows you to pre-define a sequence of steps that dynamically generate the text you want, by running commands on your computer, reading your clipboard, or using hard-coded text you provide. Here's a quick example, and one that I often use with Textile to generate a preview URL based on my current branch: (1) Start with the output of the co…
