+# espanso match file
+
+# For a complete introduction, visit the official docs at: https://espanso.org/docs/
+
+# You can use this file to define the base matches (aka snippets)
+# that will be available in every application when using espanso.
+
+# Matches are substitution rules: when you type the "trigger" string
+# it gets replaced by the "replace" string.
+matches:
+  # Simple text replacement
+  - trigger: ":espanso"
+    replace: "Hi there!"
+
+  # NOTE: espanso uses YAML to define matches, so pay attention to the indentation!
+
+  # But matches can also be dynamic:
+
+  # Print the current date
+  - trigger: ":date"
+    replace: "{{mydate}}"
+    vars:
+      - name: mydate
+        type: date
+        params:
+          format: "%m/%d/%Y"
+
+  # Print the output of a shell command
+  # - trigger: ":shell"
+    # replace: "{{output}}"
+    # vars:
+      # - name: output
+        # type: shell
+        # params:
+          # cmd: "echo 'Hello from your shell"
+
+  # Print the $USER
+  - trigger: ":user"
+    replace: "{{output}}"
+    vars:
+      - name: output
+        type: shell
+        params:
+          cmd: "echo $USER"
+
+  # Print the $HOST
+  - trigger: ":term"
+    replace: "{{output}}"
+    vars:
+      - name: output
+        type: shell
+        params:
+          cmd: "echo $TERM" # returns "linux"...
+
+  - trigger: ":shell"
+    replace: "{{output}}"
+    vars:
+      - name: output
+        type: shell
+        params:
+          cmd: "echo $SHELL"
+
+  - trigger: ":for"
+    replace: "for (;;) {}"
+
+  - trigger: ":while"
+    replace: "while () {}"
+
+  - trigger: ":if"
+    replace: "if () {}"
+
+  - trigger: ":elif"
+    replace: "else if () {}"
+
+  - trigger: ":else"
+    replace: "else {}"
