Combine snippets with regular text

Snippets are treated like individual code blocks and cannot be combined with regular text. But I've already had a number of experiences where I wish this behavior was possible. For example, I would like the text before a colon (which never changes) in a snippet, and then seamlessly complete the sentence after the colon with regular text (which changes). All without having to convert the snippet to text so that I can still benefit from automatic snippet updates.

Nearby Cheetah, this requires a lot of effort and the current H1 roadmap is frozen, so based on more customer traction we can plan it for H2, 2026

Thank you Harald and Auri! I remembered opening a feature request regarding snippets and auto-complete: https://feedback.document360.com/feature-request/p/editable-snippts-or-auto-complete. An auto-complete similar to e.g. SDL Studio would be a real improvement, getting suggestions as you type instead of having to manually maintain snippets.

This sounds like a use case for feature from a TW tool I used long ago, which identified often repeated phrases and provided them as suggestions. For example, if I type "Open the main navigation and click X", it would flag that and point out that the existing content uses the form "In the main navigation, click X". Or if I start typing "After you're finished", it would give me the option to autofill "... click OK to save your changes."
