Type your email address

Type ;mail in any app and Switchboard types your email address in its place.

Type ;mail in any app and Switchboard replaces it with your email address. This macro is a snippet: its trigger is the text you type, and its one step types the address.

Type your email address
When
  1. Type “;mail”
Do
  1. Type “sam@example.com”
Open in Switchboard to try it

Press Try It to see what it would type without typing anything.

Press Add to Library to keep a copy. It arrives turned off: select it in your library and turn on the switch beside its name.

Make it yours #

  • Your address. Select the copy and it opens in the snippet editor. Replace sam@example.com under Text it types with yours.

  • The abbreviation. Click ;mail at the top and type another, such as ;em. Keep the ; so it never fires inside a word.

  • More of them. A second address, your phone number or a sign-off are each one more snippet: File › New Snippet (⌃⌘N). Your first macro walks through one.
