Add the block to any post or page, type an abbreviation — just like Emmet in code editors — and press **Tab** or **Enter**. The block immediately expands into proper WordPress core blocks: paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, groups, quotes, and more. No more clicking through the block inserter to build repetitive layouts. Write ` ul>li*5>lorem6` and get a five-item list with six words of lorem ipsum per item in one keystroke. ### How it works 1. Add the **ShortCut and Dummy Text Generator** block anywhere in the Gutenberg editor. 2. Type an abbreviation in the input field. 3. Press **Tab** or **Enter**. 4. The block either **replaces itself** with the generated blocks (default) or **inserts the new blocks after itself** — controlled by the toggle in the sidebar. ### Abbreviation Syntax **Lorem ipsum text** * `lorem` 20 words of lorem ipsum * `lorem5` 5 words of lorem ipsum **Single elements** * `p>lorem10` Paragraph with 10 lorem words * `h2>lorem5` H2 heading with 5 lorem words * `h1` through `h6` are all supported **Repeating elements** Use `*N` to repeat a tag N times: * `ul>li*3>lorem4` Unordered list with 3 items, each 4 words * `ol>li*4>lorem6` Ordered list with 4 items, each 6 words * `table>tr*3>td*4>lorem3` Table with 3 rows and 4 columns **Nesting** Use `>` to nest elements: * `group>h2>lorem5` Group block containing an H2 heading * `div>p>lorem20` Group block containing a paragraph * `blockquote>p>lorem15` Quote block with a paragraph inside **Sibling elements** Use `,` to create multiple sibling blocks in one go: * `h2>My Title, p>lorem20` An H2 heading followed by a paragraph * `h3>lorem4, ul>li*3>lorem5, p>lorem10` Heading, list, and paragraph **Complex combinations** * `group>h2>lorem5, p>lorem20` Group block with a heading and paragraph * `table>tr*2>td*3>lorem4` 2×3 table filled with lorem ipsum ### Supported Block Types Abbreviation tag Gutenberg block `p` `core/paragraph` `h1` – `h6` `core/heading` `ul` `core/list` (unordered) `ol` `core/list` (ordered) `table` `core/table` `group` / `div` `core/group` `blockquote` `core/quote` `pre` `core/preformatted` ### Block Settings **Replace block on Tab/Enter** (sidebar toggle) * **On** (default): pressing Tab or Enter replaces this block with the generated blocks. * **Off**: the generated blocks are inserted into the editor without removing this block, so you can keep typing more abbreviations. **Remove block**: click the × button in the top-right corner of the block to delete it from the editor. #### Did you like this plugin?

It adds a special Gutenberg block where you can type Emmet-like abbreviations (e. g. `ul>li*3>lorem5`) and expand them into real WordPress core blocks by pressing Tab or Enter. ### Does it work with any WordPress theme? Yes. The block only runs inside the Gutenberg editor and generates standard core blocks, so it is compatible with any theme. ### What happens to the ShortCut block after I expand an abbreviation? By default the block replaces itself with the generated blocks. If you turn off the **Replace block on Tab/Enter** toggle in the sidebar, the generated blocks are inserted without removing this block so you can keep generating more content. ### Can I generate multiple block types at once? Yes. Separate patterns with a comma: `h2>My Heading, p>lorem20, ul>li*3>lorem4` creates a heading, a paragraph, and a list in one keystroke. ### How do I control the number of lorem ipsum words? Append a number to `lorem`: `lorem10` gives 10 words, `lorem50` gives 50 words. Using `lorem` alone defaults to 20 words. ### Can I use real text instead of lorem ipsum? Yes. Just type your own text after `>`. For example, `h2>Hello World` creates an H2 heading with the text „Hello World“. ### How many times can I use the block? Unlimited. Add as many instances as you need across any post or page. ### Where can I get support?
