Need to create custom keyboard shortcut for snippet

Question

The previous versions of Dreamweaver allowed me to create a custom snippet, then assign a keyboard shortcut to it so I could insert it into my code on the fly. How can I do this in 2019?

There is no way to add shortcut key strokes, like Ctrl + Alt + Letter, to Snippets in the last few versions of DW. These days, Snippets get Emmet-like abbreviations that are then expanded using the Tab key. The last version I know for sure that still has standard keyboard shortcuts is CC2015, which is no longer available via the CC Desktop App.

You can still get it from ProDesignTools.com though. Their site uses Adobe's actual files for the download, so they're at least legitimate versions of the program. You just need to make sure to follow the directions exactly, otherwise you get a 403 Forbidden error.

There is a software call `lintalist` that can do this => https://github.com/lintalist/lintalist .

And there is a Post talks briefly about how to use it https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=85098

The key is to use the `^|` to specify your caret position in your snippet.

And `[[Selected]]` to insert the text you have selected (for wrapping around).

A sample code could be:

<span class="AAA">^|[[Selected]]</span>
