Hi. I'm wondering if Cudatext has a snippets replace addon where you can highlight a word, and then replace that word. I know it has a find/replace function, but is there a quicker way to do that? Thanks!

You can use "Snippets Panel" plugin (it has button in sidebar). To add your words to plugin, see plugin's readme:

gives command "Plugins - Snippets Panel" to show panel, in sidebar, similar to Clips panel from SynWrite editor. this panel shows drop-down list of folders, which contain several "clips"/"snippets". you can double-click snippets to insert them into text (multi-carets are supported).

preinstalled folders:
- Arrows
- Currency symbols
- Greek alphabet (lower)
- Greek alphabet (upper)
- HTML - Arrows
- HTML - Color names
- HTML - Color names+values
- HTML - Letters
- HTML - Math symbols
- HTML - Special characters
- Math symbols
- Quote selection
- Special characters

snippet folders are searched in 2 places:
- folder "clips" in plugin folder (preinstalled)
- folder [CudaText]/data/clips, which is absent by default, for custom user folders.

each snippet folder can contain one or more .txt files, in UTF-8 (no BOM) or UTF-16 (with BOM) encoding. files have snippet per line, in the form "name=value" or simply "name" (if value missed, it equals to name).
each snippet can be simple short string, or string with ${sel} macro to replace selected text. this allows to quote currently selected text by calling snippets from "Quote selection" folder.

I looked in my data folder, where Cudatext is installed, but I didn't see a clip folder. I did find a snippet folder, but no clip was in there, either. Do I need to re-install clip? And for the .txt file, do I write the words in the file, and then save it in the folder?

Name 'clips' with 's'. It is absent for all, just create such folder. Create txt files and save in there. Plugin will detect that files.
