AutoReplacements or "snippets" allow you to input frequently used SQL commands much faster. Type "sel" and press SPACE, ENTER  or TAB (configurable in Settings) - and it will be replaced with "select * from". "upd" will be replaced with "update # set where". "#" defines where cursor will be placed after the replacement is done (this symbol is customizable with the help of AutoReplacement). SSMSBoost AutoReplacements improve similar SSMS basic functionality:

• Tokens can be case-sensitive
• It is possible to specify final cursor location, after AutoReplacement is triggered
• You can use standard SSMS parameters like <name, type, default value> in AutoReplacements. SSMSBoost detects these parameters and automatically shows Parameters replacement dialog saving you additional clicks/keystrokes.
• The following parameters can be used in AutoReplacements: {User}, {Server}, {Database}, {Connection}, {Timestamp} , {Timestamp:Format} (.Net datetime format). These parameters will be replaced with the actual information after AutoReplacement is triggered. For example you can create an AutoReplacement to place a Username/Timestamp comment into your source code.

You can easily add your own AutoReplacements.
