Ah. I use an app on the Mac called TextExpander. There are other options available, but this one is my favorite for the past year or so.



TextExpander — Productivity App | Text Expander



For what it's worth, ServiceNow has similar built in functionality for code snippets (in a script box).

Hi Chuck



I tried


Script macro maintenance


But its not getting invoked in scripts background


That's because Scripts background isn't a script field, it's a text field (sad, but true.) Macros won't work there. They work on business rules, script includes, even client scripts. Anything that has line numbers and the icons above will work.
