# Add code snippets to the auto-complete menu

To add code or text snippets in the snippet editor:

1. Select Preferences > Text Editor > Snippets.

2. In Group, select the type of snippet to add.
3. Select Add.
4. Specify a trigger. If the trigger is already in use, add an optional variant. They appear in the list of suggestions when you write code. Also specify a text string or C++ or QML code construct in the snippet editor, depending on the snippet category.

   You can use predefined variables in snippets.
